Loadcontrol with parameters

[Carl Wright]

Hi

I'm having this major issue loading a usercontrol at runtime using the
overload on Loadcontrol(type,object). Here's the code in the aspx
code-behind file

Dim myControl As New Control
Dim strCtlPath As String = "~/includes/pinned/NewConsumerReviews.ascx"
Dim objParams(0) As Object
objParams(0) = 1
myControl = LoadControl(strCtlPath)
PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(LoadControl(myControl.GetType, objParams))

and the user control constructors look like this:

Partial Class Includes_Pinned_NewConsumerReviews
Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl
Sub New()
MyBase.New()
End Sub
Sub New(ByVal x As Integer)
MyBase.New()
End Sub
<FUNCTIONS>
End Class
The error i'm getting is:

Server Error in '/www.compare-online.co.uk' Application.
