I'm at my wit's end... 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.

The ASP.NET fines controls is looking at the bin directory at the root of
the *application*. 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.

HTHs,
Brian

Nope, the dll is there. 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.

So,
1. You moved the dll to the bin directory?
2. 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)?

2. The dll is made where it's supposed to be. 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.

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.

RE: [aspngcontrolsvb] Re: Referencing custom controls in VS.net?What do you
mean by a control reference declaration? Adding an ID to the control
changes nothing, it still can't find the class.
