I have 3 vb.net web applications. I would like all 3 to have access to a
library of user controls. server controls wouldn't cause a problem but these
are user controls (ascx.) From each solution I reference the user control
library project and create a virtual directory under each applicatoin that
links to the folder that contains the ascx files but I get a runtime error
like:

Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to
service this request. Please review the following specific parse error
details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'Reg.AffFooter'.

Any ideas? Much thanks in advance.

User controls are easy to create, but there is no supported way to share
them across projects.

Conversly, Custom controls are easier to use and to reuse across projects
because they are compiled into separate DLLs.

Here's more info:

You can accomplish this in a "pretty ugly way".
Try publishing your user controls in GAC.

Steve,

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to have (another) decent sized project if I
have to rewrite our user controls as server controls.

I found this article yesterday evening. Anyone have experience with this
approach?

Thank You and have a great weekend,
stan

Thanks for your reply Felipe. I'm curious, do you consider this ugly due to
performance degredation or some other reason?

Thanks again!
