Not enough detail WHY you need to do it in code, as this might decide your decision.
If the ONLY reason is that during the runtime the class gets identified,
.AddObject() on the form or a subclass is better as object cleanup is handled via garbage collection.

If you have to exchange this object, the .addproperty() is similar to createobject() or newobject()
insofar as cleanup is concerned.
