Stupid Question??

[Tina]

I have written a class to be used by asp.net applications that provides a
useful function. Other than the constructor, it has just one method. There
is no need for properties or events.

Prior to .net I would have just created a dll from my class and distributed
it to users with instructions on what to call.

But the .net docs I have seem to say that I should create a Web Control
Library which has a template like a component.

Is it no longer just appropriate to just distribute a dll?
Thanks,
T

If you've made a control then that is good advice.

If it's just a class somebody's going to be using from the code behind or
middle tier or something, then a Class Library would be a more logical fit.
Both Class Libraries and Web Control Libraries compile into DLLs.
