So I believe to have crated all of this correctly, but my machine has made it
clear that I haven't.

The Following Is my Custom Control code(It has been compiled into a dll and put
into a subdirectory name "bin", the filename is WebCustomControl1):

Option Explicit On
Option Strict On

Imports System
Imports System.Web
Imports System.Web.UI
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic

Namespace SimpleControlSamples
Public Class InnerContent : Inherits Control
Protected Overrides Sub Render(ByVal output As HtmlTextWriter)

If HasControls() And TypeOf Controls(0) Is LiteralControl Then
output.Write("<H2>Your Message: " & CType(Controls(0),
LiteralControl).Text & "</H2>")
End If
End Sub 'Render
End Class 'InnerContent
End Namespace 'SimpleControlSamples

Next is my .aspx page, which i named "Try.aspx":

<%@ page Language="VB" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="SimpleControlSamples" Namespace="SimpleControlSamples"
Assembly="WebControlLibrary1" %>

<html>

<body>

<form method="POST" runat="server">

<SimpleControlSamples:InnerContent id="MyControl" runat="server">
My Message Is Inside the Control Tag!!!!
</SimpleControlSamples:InnerContent>

</form>

</body>

</html>

The error that i am getting is saying that it cannot find
SimpleControlSamples.InnerContent. It is obviously there, or i thnk it is. Can
someone who is .NET fluent help me please?

How are you creating your control on the page? Since you have this:

[Original message clipped]

then the tag should look like this:

<SimpleControlSamples:InnerContent id="MySampleControl runat="server" />

Also, the bin directory needs to be off of the *application* root (just
making sure you are doing that).

HTHs,
Brian
