DLL Project of user controls

[Ryu]

Hi all,

Is it possible to create a dll project of ascx controls? I have tried
creating a dll project and then adding ascx files. But I cant view them in
design mode. Neither can I attach the its equivalent cs file to it. For
example if i create a new Book.ascx control, I am not able to attach its
Book.ascx.cs to Book.ascx. What did I do wrong?

Thanks and regards

Are you think of compiling a web *user* control,
instead of compiling a web *custom* control ?

You compile web *custom* controls.
Web *user* controls are written in code.

See the differences between them at :

Web Custom controls :

Web User Controls :

Here's the set of recommendations for when to create which type :

Thanks for the reply. I was referring to web user controls. Is there a more
convenient way to get its dll file?

No, not really - at least not in an official supported fashion.

In 2.0 I've done some experimentation:

There is a link in the comments to Guenter's post on this form, where
he has taken this a step further.
