Hi Alex, A delegate component is used to render a block component.
I don't believe you are going to be able to find a general way to grab any component from your project and dynamically stick it in the page. Read Principle 1 -- Static Structure, Dynamic Behavior on http://tapestry.formos.com/nightly/tapestry5/ for more information. I'd suggest building one component that understands what to do with all of your database types and values and delegates to other components for rendering. Those components have to be statically defined.
