I have a table that has the file name of the dynamic controls I am loading and I can load them just fine and all - not a problem

Now I am trying to save the info entered into these dynamic controls and not sure how really

They all expose a property called 'DefaultAnswer' that can get the value entered into the control but not sure how to be able to tell the page what the control has - i thought of reflection and think I have to use it in this case but not sure how

Anybody help me out on this one?

TIA

Have you put a break point in " aControlType.GetProperty" to ensure it is being hit and has a value?

The problem may lie in how/when the dynamic control is being loaded.  Dynamic controls need to be saved so they can be recreated in an overloaded LoadViewState sub.  If you're not already doing that I would search for a Dynamic Control Placeholder to do the dirty work for you.  I got this on a quick search - http://www.denisbauer.com/ASPNETControls/DynamicControlsPlaceholder.aspx 

Hmmm.  When you tried the dynamic placeholder, did you make sure your loadcontrol code was only fireing when Not IsPostback?   Maybe you're clearing and reloading the placeholder on postback?

I have never used a dynamic placeholder control (I probably would use one if I were starting out now) and my code is not encapsulated in an easily shareable manner and it only works for certain known control types.   But basically I -

Only create dynamic controls on an initialization event.

When created - save (I use an array in session) enough information about the control (ContainerID, ControlID, ControlType, etc) to re-create it and add it to its container.

Override LoadViewState in the containing control.  In this sub I call mybase.LoadViewState(savedState) - then recreate the dynamic controls with the saved info.
