How do I add a control to windows form at runtime?

An an example of how to add a TextBox:

Dim tb as TextBox = New TextBox() 
'declaring a textbox 
tb.Size = New Size(130, 25) 
'setting the size for the textbox
tb.Location = New Point( 50, 70) 
'setting the location 
tb.Text = "Textbox1" 
'setting the text
Me.Controls.Add(tb)  
'adding the textbox to the form
