Dynamic controls .ASCX vs .ASPX

[Kai77]

If I run the following code in an ASPX file:

Sub ShowControls()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To 5
plhSurvey.Controls.Add(getTextbox(i.ToString))
Next i
End Sub

Private Function getTextbox(ByVal ID As String) As TextBox
Dim x As New TextBox
x.ID = ID
Return x
End Function

I get the result I want, it shows the textboxes with the ID I specified.
e.g. :
<input name="0" type="text" id="0" />

But when I run this same code in an .ASCX file and load this in a placeholder of an ASPX file, I don't get the ID's that I want.
e.g.:
<input name="_ctl1:0" type="text" id="_ctl1_0" />

Why does he add the _ctl1: to the name and _ctl1_ to the id? Is there anyway I can avoid this from happening? Other than to use an ASPX file instead of an ASCX ofcourse.

I can see how there is confussion, I mean, ASP.Net has ASPx and ASCx files, where as VB.Net has .vb and .resx files. I mean it's easy to confuse. Even the forum names, VB.Net and ASP.Net are similar, they both have .Net it them. Can you imagine the confussion if MS had called C# c.Net. Oh man oh man.
