LiteralControl myLiteralControl = new LiteralControl("ChildControl1");
myButton.Controls.Add(myLiteralControl);
myButton.Controls.AddAt(1,new LiteralControl("ChildControl2"));
Response.Write("<b>ChildControl2 is added at index 1</b>");

// Get the Index location of the myLiteralControl LiteralControl
// and write it to the page.
Response.Write("<br /><b>Index of the ChildControl myLiteralControl is " +
    "</b>" + myButton.Controls.IndexOf(myLiteralControl));

' Create a LiteralControl and use the Add method to add it
' to a button's ControlCollection, then use the AddAt method
' to add another LiteralControl to the collection at the
' index location of 1.
Dim myLiteralControl As LiteralControl =  _
