Settings a webusercontrol object's property

[TheFM234]

I'm trying to add a webusercontrol I've created dynamically through a page. I have the properties all set up correctly, and those are working. What happens when the Page_Load is that the labels that I have in the control are still null when the Page_Load runs, so a NullReferenceNotHandled exception is thrown when I try to access a label's Text property. What am I doing wrong? Maybe I'm using the webusercontrol in the wrong way, I'm used to writing desktop applications... He's the code I'm using, assume that I have the correct code for the properties

public NewsPost(string title, string date, string message, int newsId)
{
    this.Title = title;
    this.Date = date;
    this.Message = message;
    this.NewsId = newsId;
}

protected void Page\_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    lblTitle.Text = Title; //NullReferenceNotHandled error is thrown here
    lblDate.Text = Date;
    lblMessage.Text = Message;
}

Dynamically adding controls is always grief. A better way to do it is to build a collection of news item object and then bind them to a data driven control, in order to shoe them.
