Hi,
Go through the attached article. (see the red text) Couple of things to note:
1. Use @Contorl with className attribute while using user-control programmatically.
2. User @Reference directive while using user-control programmatically and use
@Register directive while using user-control declaratively.
3. Never put FORM in .ascx file.

=======================================
Just as you can programmatically create an instance of any ASP.NET server control on a
Web Forms page, you can do the same with user controls by using the containing page's
<MSHelp:link tabIndex=0
keywords="frlrfSystemWebUITemplateControlClassLoadControlTopic">LoadControl</MSHelp:link>
method. First, however, you must associate a strong type with the user control by
using the className attribute on the <MSHelp:link tabIndex=0
keywords="cpconControlDirective">@ Control</MSHelp:link> directive. This is necessary
because the LoadControl method returns a type of the <MSHelp:link tabIndex=0
keywords="frlrfSystemWebUIControlClassTopic">Control</MSHelp:link> class, and you need
to cast the user control to the appropriate strong type to be able to set individual
properties on the control.
The following example uses the className attribute to strongly type a user control
saved in the file MyUserControl.ascx.<%@ Control className="MyUserControl" %>
To create an instance of a user control programmatically Register the user
control at the top of the containing Web Forms page with the <MSHelp:link tabIndex=0
keywords="gngrfReference">@ Reference</MSHelp:link> directive. When creating the user
control programmatically, the strong type for your user control is only available to
the Web Forms page once you have created a reference to it. For example, the following
code creates a reference to a user control created in the MyUserControl.ascx file. <%@
Reference Control="MyUserControl.ascx" %> Note When creating instances of a user
control declaratively in a Web Forms page, use the <MSHelp:link tabIndex=0
keywords="cpconRegister">@ Register</MSHelp:link> directive. Create an instance
of the user control, either in the code-behind class file or the code declaration
block for the containing .aspx file. Assign property values as necessary, and add the
control to the containing page's <MSHelp:link tabIndex=0
keywords="frlrfSystemWebUIControlCollectionClassTopic">ControlCollection</MSHelp:link>
object using the <MSHelp:link tabIndex=0
keywords="frlrfSystemWebUIControlCollectionClassAddTopic">Add</MSHelp:link> method.
This is made available to the page's inherited <MSHelp:link tabIndex=0
keywords="frlrfSystemWebUIControlClassControlsTopic">Control.Controls</MSHelp:link>
property. In the following example, an instance of MyUserControl.ascx is created with
its BackColor property set to beige. [C#] Control c1 =
LoadControl("MyUserControl.ascx"); ((MyUserControl)c1).BackColor = "beige";
Page.Controls.Add(c1);[Visual Basic] Dim c1 As UserControl =
LoadControl("MyUserControl.ascx") CType(c1, MyUserControl).BackColor = "beige"
Page.Controls.Add(c1) Note When you add controls to the ControlCollection object by
using the Add method, they are placed in the collection in the order they are
processed. If you want to add a control to a specific position in the collection, use
the <MSHelp:link tabIndex=0
keywords="frlrfSystemWebUIControlCollectionClassAddAtTopic">AddAt</MSHelp:link> method
and specify the index location where you want to store the control.
