Adding controls at runtime provides the flexibility to design user interfaces that can be different things to different users. By the end of this article you'll be using multiple Placeholder controls to build a fexible template page.

'm a baseball fan. While I'd rather watch a game in person, more often than not, I'm watching it on the television. Something that you may not consciously notice while watching a game on television is the backstop. You see it every time the camera angle from the pitcher's point of view is displayed. Next time you're watching a baseball game on television, keep your eye on the advertising billboard on the backstop. You will notice that the advertising changes on a regular basis. Physically at the ballpark there is a blue screen located on the backstop and the advertising is inserted real time during the game for the television viewing audience. The players, coaches, and fans at the ballpark never see the advertising.
You've got to admire the marketing genius who came up with this idea. I can imagine someone thinking, "If only there was a way I could sell the same billboard space to more than one advertiser. There's got to be a way!"
