Hi! Make a new Object that links (by shared container) the two types:



Bind the Presentation string to the field -- this will also be stored along with a type inside of your container. Then, when you go to create that type, loop through a List of your MenuTypes, find the correct Presentation string and it will also tell you the type. (Because you have that object that is stored with it.)

A Dictionary would also be good for this.

you can do one thing

you can put the ClassName of your Usercontrols in your pagetype column

and when your click on menu get the pagetype it will give u the classname as string

then you can use

the Assembly.CreateInstance() method to initiate your user control
