cannot detect User Control

[sameercodes]

Hi people, this is very very urgent. please help. I have a user control which is being loaded dynamically. This user control is being placed ina place holder. The code is as follows:

UserControl ucUserControl = (UserControl)Page.LoadControl("../AM/UserControls/ucMyUserControl.ascx");

ucUserControl.ID = "userControl_ID";

phPlaceHolder.Controls.Add(ucUserControl);

Now, I am trying to access the user control by using FindControl:

UserControl ucUserControl = (UserControl)phPlaceHolder.FindControl("userControl_ID");

The problem is the user control is not detected. That is, ucUserControl = null Please help guys. Thanks.

Use the following in your aspx page... <%@ Reference Control="../AM/UserControls/ucMyUserControl.ascx" %>
