I've made a custom server control in Visual Studio as a .vb file, put it in its own namespace, and attempted to reference it in an aspx file. Every time I attempt to do this I get a parser error. I am using the following syntax in the top of my aspx file: <%@ Register TagPrefix="mycontrol" Namespace="MyNamespace" Assembly="SolutionName" %> and then calling it using a <mycontrol:newcontrol runat="server"></mycontrol:newcontrol>. I built everything before running it. What step did I miss? There's no documentation on this in MSDN or in the official docs, so you guys are pretty much my only hope at this point. Any help at all is appreciated. ps - I'm a newbie when it comes to ASP; though I've programmed in VB and PHP before, this whole environment is new to me, so the simpler the better. Thanks.

If you ASP.NET application is: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\myapp\ then make sure you put your compiled dll in the bin directory underneath that: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\myapp\bin The dll most likely was compiled in theVisual Studio.NET project bin directory. Just copy the dll over the asp.net application bin directory.

Does VS.net compile it for you when you add a new namespace and build the file? If not, then I need to know how to do that. If so, then what else could it be? Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Bilbro" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> To: "aspngcontrolsvb" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 5:33 PM Subject: [aspngcontrolsvb] Re: Referencing custom controls in VS.net?

Or is your VS.NET project file directory that same as the ASP.NET application? If they are not, then the dll is compiled in the Visual Studio.net project bin directory when you build it. Also, note that the assembly name is usually the name of the dll (the vs.net project name). Is the dll name the same as the assembly name you reference (SolutionName)? -- Brian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Click here to reveal e-mail address" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> To: "aspngcontrolsvb" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 8:57 PM Subject: [aspngcontrolsvb] Re: Referencing custom controls in VS.net?

And yes, the assembly name is the same as the solution name (hence SolutionName). Nevertheless, the parser continues to tell me that it can't load the type I'm referring to. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Bilbro" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> To: "aspngcontrolsvb" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 6:08 PM Subject: [aspngcontrolsvb] Re: Referencing custom controls in VS.net? [Original message clipped] Reply to this message...        Matthew Merrill Have you tried putting in your ID attribute on your control. For example: <mycontrol:newcontrol id&#"S;omeControl" runat&#"s;erver" /> You should then see a control reference declaration in your code behind. If it isn't there, then you need to manually add it.

Adding an ID to the control changes nothing, it still can't find the class. ----- Original Message ----- From: Matthew Merrill To: aspngcontrolsvb Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2001 1:37 PM Subject: [aspngcontrolsvb] Re: Referencing custom controls in VS.net?
