newbie asp.net user control question

Hi, I created a user control within my asp.net application. It has
an .ascx extension. I use this control many times within this
application and it works fine. I wrote this user control to be
generic though, because I want it to be accessible from other asp.net
applications as well. How do I break out the user control into a
seperate dll that can be references by many asp.net apps? I fooled
around with the "Web Control Library" but I must be doing something
wrong because it doesn't seem right. For instance it is listing a
"Windows Forms" section on the toolbox rather than the "Web Forms"
section that I need. Also there is no html section on the designer.
I must have gone off track somewhere... Any help you can provide
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!On Jun 27, 10:55 pm, mbosc...@.hotmail.com wrote:

hi... :)
If you want to use your control in multiple projects and you actually
want made it generic enough you have to write a custom control... okay
that good... now you can still use user user control in multiple
project but for this you got to copy the ascx file and its cs file to
the new project...

Newbie needs help with user controls

I created a menu that I want on every page and saved it as a .ascx file. It works on my web site, but when I'm testing scripts on my local machine using IIS, the menu will not show up.

I do not get an error or anything, but was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Is there a setting in IIS or WebMatrix that is causing the menu not to show up and I need to change?

Thanx in advance!Can u post your code please.

Thanks midi25
Theres alot of code there my brother and looks in need of a clean up. I suspect and this has happened to me a few times that the html comments or a faulty <tag> somewhere may be giving you a problem and not causing the control to be displayed. Apart from that the rest of the .net code looks ok. Also make sure that default.aspx and menu.ascx are both in your root folder in IIS.
Thanx for the reply. I think you might have found the problem since I have the 2 files in a folder, named 'dotnet' which is a folder in the root directory of my IIS. The only reason I put them there was because I was planning on developing an intranet for my home network and assumed that I could not have both in the IIS root folder.

This leads me to my next question (and then I'll stop bothering you). If I do develop an intranet and put the 2 forementioned files in the root folder, how will users get to each site since they will both have a default.aspx file in the same directory?

Do I need to:

1. assign each site its own server port OR

2. just create the intranet and put the 'dotnet' directory as a sub-directory in that? If so, won't I encounter the same problem, because I will then need 2 menu.ascx files, 1 for the intranet and for dotnet site?
Note: the intranet site will be something completely different than the dotnet site, which is merely for testing scripts before uploading them to my web host, so I really do not want to keep them in the same directory.

Last question:

Could you please recommend a good .NET web host(s)?
