Compile Web User Control to DLL

Question

I created a Web User Control in Visual Studio 2008. I want to compile that Web User Control to a DLL so i can eventually use it in a SharePoint Web Part.

But i have no idea how i can compile or use my Web User Control in SharePoint.

Anyone any idea how this works?

Answer 1

Read this...

In your manifest.xml include this..

<TemplateFile Location="ControlTemplates\"Your Web User Control Name".ascx" />

Then in your ascx file include this...

RootFiles\TEMPLATE\ControlTemplates\"Your Web User Control Name".ascx

Then call from your .cs file as

_value = Page.LoadControl("~/_controltemplates/"Your Web User Control Name".ascx");

EDIT

Try this...

Go to Start> All Programs > Visual Studio 2008 > Visual Studio Tools > Click Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt. Type the below command and press enter.

devenv.exe /resetskippkgs
