You can't use asp.net controls as string variable. Consider using pure HTML objects or change the concept, like adding specific asp.net controls to something like PlaceHolder. — Gregor Primar

Yea... not going to happen, at least not how you're suggesting. Put this code into a user control, and pass the control name as a string instead. — James Johnson

You mentioned loading from a text file. I think you should review usercontrols. It is the preferred method to load asp.net content and controls from an included file.

Put this code into a user control, and pass the control name as a string instead.

void Page_Init(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    //your string
    string controlName = "TempControl_Samples1.ascx.cs";

    // instantiate usercontrol object
    MyControl myControl1 = (MyControl)LoadControl(controlName);
    PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(myControl1);
}
