How can I find span from code behind and add user control to it?

Question

I've a div

<div id="PageContent" runat="server"></div>

Now I'm adding HTML to it from code behind(c#) like this

PageContent.InnerHtml =mytext;

where mytext is the content I want to add in PageContent div, mytext contains a span in between some text(it can be any string), something like this

This is some <span id="span1"> </span> text

How can I find span from code behind and add user control to it?

Solution

//This is some <span id="span1" runat="server"> </span>

//In the code behind...

var span1 = this.FindControl("span1") as HtmlGenericControl;
var controlPath = "path of your user control";
var someControl = LoadControl(controlPath);
span1.Controls.Add(someControl);

But the point is he is creating that span on runtime. Doing so will also not give

You are right @AnirudhAgarwal.. Coder i already tried that,it dosen't work.

[Sid M]

well @coder what you answered is the whole process that should be done,it would be really good if you can tell me how it is done?

[Sid M]

you don't need span.InnerHtml = ""; and span.Attributes["id"] = "span"; It works fine without it also,so made the necessary changes.

when i add a User Control after adding a span as you said, It gets added to my page after text and when you look at the HTML span gets added after This is some Hello text.
