Making your own user controls

[davearia]

Hi,

This is a subject I researched a while back and to honest shelved it.

What I wanted to do was make my own user controls as I would normally do. But instead of referencing the user control in aspx page I would want to have a tab in the toolbox where my user controls are shown. So I could simply drag the control onto my webpage/application.

Could somebody give me some ideas to start this off, if only some good web articles this would be great.

Thanks, Dave.

As far as I am aware there is no easy way to put user controls onto the toolbox. To do this you would really need to develop a full blown web server control - these are a lot more difficult to do and personally I would really need a strong reason to even consider writing one...

Hi,

From what bits I have read I would agree with you. It would take a lot of effort to acheive this. I will shelve this one for now!

Thanks, Dave.
