Problem with usercontrols in Umbraco

Question

I have developed a usercontrol that I would like to embed in Umbraco. The process seems straightforward, but I may be trying something that can't be done.

My usercontrol is dependent on several other usercontrols. When I try to Browse Properties in the "main" usercontrol I get the error below.

I have copied all the .ascx files to the usercontrols folder and the assembly is in the bin directory. Is it possible to host a "composite" usercontrol in Umbraco that depends on and contains other usercontrols?

Answer 1

The usercontrol reference to other controls via the rootpath. Can you change the reference /ucLogin.ascx to ucLogin.ascx and see what happens.

Hope it helps you,
