Sitecore versions: tested with 5.1.1.21. Expected to work with 5.1.1.x.

The Problem

Our code needs to add a sublayout programmatically.  

1.  The Solution

Use the code below to solve the problem:

protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e) 

{ 

     Database db = Factory.GetDatabase("master"); 

     Item slItm = db.Items["/sitecore/layout/sublayouts/Test"]; 

     Sublayout sublayout = new Sublayout(); 

     sublayout.Path = slItm["Path"]; 

     sublayout.DataSource = db.Items["/sitecore/content/home"].Paths.Path; 

     MainPH.Controls.Add(sublayout);//Placeholder on the page 

} 

Note: The LayoutPageEvent setting should be set to load in web.config.
