The PlaceHolder server control works just as its name implies. It is a placeholder for you to interject object dynamically into your page. Think of it as a maker with which you can add other controls. The capability to add controls to a page at a specific point also works with the Panel control.

To see how it works, insert a PlaceHolder control into your page and then add controls to it from your server-side code in the following manner

VB
Dim NewLabelControl as new Label()
NewLabelControl.Text="Hello World"
PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(NewLabelControl)
