Create DIV from Server Side

I am in need to create a DIV from server side.
If i create a new HTML generic control only a SPAN is created.
(Dim A As New HtmlGenericControl)
So plz tell me what is the property to convert a SPAN to DIV?

GavinMannion

Instead of creating a Div Control just create the HTML dynamically.

Dim myDiv as String
myDiv = "<div id='blah'>afjkhafja</div>"

Then bind that to a placeholder or label or Response.Write it

I tried the code
But i am in need to create a DIV .so that we could bind an user control in that DIV.

Dim cell As New HtmlTableCell
Dim strdiv As String
cell = Table1.Rows(0).Cells(0)
strdiv = "<div id=" & "'div1'" & " style=" & "'Z-INDEX: 105; WIDTH: 100%; POSITION: absolute; HEIGHT: 100%'" & " runat=" & "'server'" & ">" & "</div>"
cell.InnerHtml = strdiv
Dim uc As UserControl
Dim dv As New HtmlGenericControl
uc = Page.LoadControl("UC.ascx")
uc.Visible = True
dv = CType(Table1.Rows(0).Cells(0).Controls.Item(0), HtmlGenericControl)
dv.Controls.Add(uc)

sorry try this code.

Table1 is created in the design time itself.

Dim cell As New HtmlTableCell
Dim strdiv As String
cell = Table1.Rows(0).Cells(0)
strdiv = "<div id=" & "'div1'" & " style=" & "'Z-INDEX: 105; WIDTH: 100%; POSITION: absolute; HEIGHT: 100%'" & " runat=" & "'server'" & ">" & "</div>"
cell.InnerHtml = strdiv
Dim uc As UserControl

uc = Page.LoadControl("UC.ascx")
uc.Visible = True
Page.FindControl("div1").Controls.Add(uc)
