    }
    }

But it was not working for me .

Please give solution to this.

Thanks in advance,

I see where you create the instance of the control but I don't see where you attach it to a Panel or to the page.  Typically, server side controls need to be attached to the page in the Page_Init section.  I admin, I don't use this control.  But, I think the correct way to implement this is to put it in the ASPX portion of your page and set visible = false.  On postback of your dropdownlist, you'd make it visible and set the various desired properties.
