Hi,
I have some UserControls named a1, a2, b1, b2... and I want to load one of them depending of the value of two variables. For example, var1 = a, var2 = 1 will load the UserControl named a1.
Is there a way of doing this? Some other approach?
A switch is not viable, because there will be like 200 different UserControls.
Thank you in advance.

Solution 1

You can use the LoadControl[^] method for loading the controls. Generate the name of user controls by combining the variables.
