Package a UserControl in a dll

[Carlo]

I would like to package several usercontrols in a dll. Then use them in
another website. How do i accomplish this?

I tried to add a reference of the 2nd website to the dll of the first
website containing the usercontrols but i couldn't make it work.

What i did was create a new asp.net web application ( VS2005 ). Hence i
create the the usercontrol and publish the site. On a second asp.net web
application i make a reference to the 1st web project dll, from which i try
to get an instance of the usercontrol. So far this has not worked because of
course the dll like this is not enough since one need the ascx files as
well. .

One can create a class library and make reference to System.Web but then how
does one create the UI ?

I did try to browse around for a solution but i found limited answers such
as "place it inside a dll", but i didn't find the steps on how to accomplish
this.

Hello Carlo,

I'd recommed to use Web Custom control, because in this case u can put it
inco GAC and share among apps
Read there http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2005/08/28/423888.aspx

Btw, all other resources are there http://groups.google.com/groups/search?q=asp.net+share+ascx+user+control
