I'd say number 2 is better.

That way the control is already loaded so performance will be better than
loading
it at the click of a button as and when you need it.

Subject: [aspx_professional] What is better? LoadControl
programmatically OR use mycontrol.visible=False|True ???


Hello,

I have a UserControl which should be only shown when a Button is clicked.

What is the best (professional, performance etc) way ?

1) After Butten Click I load my Control programmatically like:
    Page.LoadControl("my.ascx")

2) <%@ Register %> my UserControl and work with
  in my Page_Load with  myControl.Visible = false
 and when Butten is clicked then myControl.Visible = true

Is there any performance difference?

Thanks in advance,
Andreas
