You need to declare the ctl as your derived type and explicity cast the
return value from LoadControl.

I don't use VB.net but I believe it would be

Dim ctl as MyUserControl =
DirectCast(LoadControl("myWebUserControl.ascx"), MyUserControl)

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean by it's "not exposed".
Is this a 2005 web project by any chance (does it have an app_code
folder)? If so you can either upgrade to the 2005 web application
project
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/asp.net/aa336618.aspx
or work around the problem of not being able to pick up your codebehind
types at compile time by creating separate "stub" classes, placing them
in your app_code folder, and having your codebehind classes derive from
them. Like this:

Stub File:

Public Class _myWebUserControl
Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl


Public Event SetFilter(ByVal FilterArgs As
KHE.Orion.Business.Components.FinancialAid.FAR.Rep orts.FilterArgs)

CodeBehind file:

Public Class myWebUserControl
Inherits _myWebUserControl

Sub Whatever()
RaiseEvent SetFilter(myArgs)
End Sub

On the Web Page:

Partial Class MyPage
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page


Sub LoadControl()
Dim ctl as _myWebUserControl =
CType(LoadControl("myWebUserControl.ascx"),_myWebU serControl)

Page.controls.add(ctl)

AddHandler ctl.SetFilter, AddressOf mySetFilter
