Is there a way to define a controls tagprefix in the control itself? When I drop a control on a web page it's tagprefix defaults to uc1, as expected. Where can I set it so that it's default tag prefix is something else, so i don't have to change 'em every time I drop a control on the form? Thanks.

Jerry,

Not sure about 2005, but in 2003 you would use an assembly attribute named
TagPrefix which is under the System.Web.UI namespace (IE: <Assembly:
System.Web.UI.TagPrefix("MyNamespaceHere", "MyPrefix")

Hello Jerry,

I think the "System.Web.UI.TagPrefixAttribute" class Mythran mentioned is
what you want. You can specify the tagprefix for controls under a certain
namespace in your assemby. e.g.

================
[assembly: TagPrefix("URLSiteLib", "urlsitelib")]

namespace URLSiteLib
{
[DefaultProperty("Text")]
[ToolboxData("<{0}:MyControl1 runat=server></{0}:MyControl1>")]
public class MyControl1 : WebControl
{
................

================

#TagPrefixAttribute Class
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...ixattribute.as
px

BTW, use the default randomly generated control prefix can ensure that your
tagprefix won't conflict with other class library's controls.

Probably.. Actually just haven't had the time to play with it. But it
looks like the right place to go.
