Further to Griff's excellent answer, you may find it better to have a single MemberControl that supports three modes [new, amend and delete] that changes which fields are enabled and the action resulting from the form.
It is a good design approach to show the same control for the same thing. In your case you want a control that displays a member, that is unchanged irrespective of the mode, that will have slightly different behaviour behind the scene.

Try:

C#

NewMember_UserControl nmuc = new NewMember_UserControl();
Controls.Add(nmuc);

Strictly speaking, it'll do what you asked for, but I can't help thinking that what you actually want to do is something quite different altogether...
