Automatic <%@Register of Web User Controls in a Project?Hi. In the shiny new ASP.NET 2.0, if you have a web project and you create a
set of User WebControls, is there a way to set those controls so that I don't have to insert the whole <%@ Register tagprefix="XYZ" Tagname="MyControl" Src="~/BlahBlah/MyControl.ascx" %> at the top of every page in order to use the control on that page? I *think* I remember that there's a way of installing the control "globally" for the whole server machine. I really don't want to do that. I just want to make it accessible to the project without the whole ugly <%@Register tag. Hi,
yes. It's been added that you can specify global control registration in web.config (for your web app). For example: <pages> <controls> <!-- Uses the specified source for the user control --> <add tagprefix="MyTags3" tagname="MyCtrl" source="MyControl.ascx"/> </controls> </pages> Show quoteHide quote "Alex Maghen" <AlexMaghen@newsgroup.nospam> wrote in message news:7F451A48-C6F0-4533-A6CA-EF102B2FA39F@microsoft.com... > Hi.

Hi Alex, In addition to registering ascx usercontrol, the <system.web><pages><controls>.... </..>.... element can also be used to register custom webserver control for application scope. So if you've developed some custom webserver controls that'll be used in most pages in the application, you can also consider using this configuration setting. BTW, the <pages> setting is also configurable in sub virtual or physical directory, therefore we can also make a certain sub virtual directory in our application register a particular group of controls. #controls Element for pages (ASP.NET Settings Schema) http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164640.aspx Regards, Steven Cheng Microsoft Online Community Support ================================================== When responding to posts, please "Reply to Group" via your newsreader so that others may learn and benefit from your issue. ================================================== This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

I have a number of custom WebControls, the @ Register is added to the page and the dll copied to the bin folder automagically just by dragging the control onto a webform - zero manual intervention required. ???

mostly a matter of preference. On the other hand, it's nice to be able to reegister via web.config since registration is automatically applied for new pages as well.

does all the necessary registration - how much more automatic can you get ?

but maybe if same control is used all over the site, registration is just cleaner to keep in one, centralized place instead on every page. Especially if you have lots of controls used extensively on multiple pages (or all)? Keeps the directives shorter.
