Sitecore 6.4: Can I add a ASP.NET HtmlGenericControl to an Items Sublayout programmatically?

Question

I'm updating an item programmatically. I have a method which returns a HtmlGenericControl. I want to place this HtmlGenericControl into a (placeholder inside a) sublayout of the the item programmatically. Is that possible?

I think you mean this:

// This is where your method returns the control.
HtmlGenericControl htmlControl = GetControl(); 

// This is how you add it as a child control of a placeholder
myPlaceHolder.Controls.Add(htmlControl);
