Web Forms :: Creating Multiple Usercontrols In A Loop?

I have a userControl with with two DDLs and two RBLs, and public properties to get/set the values. If I register the UC on a page it works fine....I can set/retrieve the values without a problem.

I need to create multiple UCs based on records I'm pulling from a dB, so I'm trying to instead create the UCs programmatically. I'm testing this by adding a reference to the control ("symptomBasic"), creating a placeholder ("ph1") on a page and then trying to populate it with the UCs in PageInit. (the parent page uses a master page)

Partial Class testUC
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Private myUC As ASP.symptomBasic
Protected Sub Page_init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 3
myUC = CType(LoadControl("~/controls/symptom.ascx"), ASP.symptomBasic)
ph1.Controls.Add(myUC)
Next
End Sub
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
End Sub
End Class

When I load the page, I get three UCs in a row, and they work properly on postback...i.e. all the values are preserved. Question is, how do I then find the controls on postback when I want to populate them with data or read the values back?

Let's say I know I returned 3 rows from the dB and created 3 UCs during pageInit...how do I then access those controls to read back the values provided by the user? I see that each control has an ID like: "ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl01_cName", where each set of controls is "ctl00", "ctl01", etc.
