hello everybody

I have a masterpage and several aspx pages that inerhit controls from the
masterpage. In the Page_Load event of the content aspx page I want to add
some controls. Example code:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
if (!Page.IsPostBack) {
Table table = new Table();
Page.Controls.Add(table);
}
}

But this code adds the control at the end of the masterpage and not add the
end of the content page! How can I add a control at the and of the content
aspx page assuming that it extends a masterpage?
I also tried it with the FindControl(..) method but this is very hard as my
page structure is nested. Additionally, such code wouldn't be very
maintainable --> Control cx = this.FindControl("contentPlaceHolder");

Thank you in advance for your help!

Regards,
Roger

What's wrong with this approaches? It's very readable and clear that you
add your control exatly at contentPlaceHolder.

yes, but the contentPlaceHolder may be nested somewhere in the page. I would
have to write..:

this.FindControl("xxx").FindControl("yyy").FindControl("myPlaceHolder")

or is there another (easier) way to get a control?
