Try moving lines 2 - 4 into the Page Init event.
For an explanation of why I suggested this please review the article on how to use dynamic controls in asp.net

Hi Ghayas,
Please respond in thread instead of through PMs so that when we find a solution to the problem other people facing the same problem can see how we solved the problem :)

This is very strange behaviour.
Have you tried setting the Visible property of the control to true to make sure it's rendered...on second thought, are you sure it's not being rendered? (check the HTML and see if you can see the control in the page...maybe you have a style setting or something messing this up).

sorry i didnt know where to answer so i send u PM
i don know what was the problem i removed update panel ,
may b may b infact the actual reason was,i have update panel in which i have a check box and on check event the control creation occur,and i made blander that i didnt put the update panel for place holder

thankx alot for your time

Oh.
I don't think this is going to work.

I remember a thread a while ago discussing issues with this and I don't think that it was resolved.

I recommend staying away from dynamically loading the control when using UpdatePanels. Set the control's Visible property to false and when you need it set it to true instead of trying to add it dynamically when needed.

When a control's Visible property is set in your sever side code (C# or VB.NET) then the control is not rendered on the page....it's omitted...until you set the Visible property to true.

actually its clients requirement,
to use ajax

For now, to get things up and running, don't dynamically add the control to the page. Instead try using the Visible property I was talking about in my last post.
