I have a need to add items at runtime to a WebExplorerBar and the items would be user controls.  I have been able to add a group and an item however I cannot figure out how to set the template for the item to allow me to add the user control.  I don't know if I am just doing this wrong or if I am in the wrong part of the page life cycle.  I need to have multiple User controls per page and they could be the same control just being loaded from different data sources.  Any help would be great.

I am using VS 2010 and 10.1 of Infragistics asp.net controls

Here is a sample of the code I am trying:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        ExplorerBarGroup group = new ExplorerBarGroup("parameter1");

        ExplorerBarItem item = new ExplorerBarItem("CheckBoxTest");

        CheckBox chk = new CheckBox();

        chk.Text = "Test";

        ItemTemplate it = new ItemTemplate();

        it.TemplateID = "testTemplateId";

        it.Controls.Add(chk);

        WebExplorerBar1.Templates.Add(it);

        item.TemplateId = it.TemplateID;

        group.Items.Add(item);

        WebExplorerBar1.Groups.Add(group);   

    }
