creating custom web controls

[ganders]

hi folks

 

i'm pretty new to asp.net. so let me ask you a rather easy question:

 

i've created a new custom web control. the project has been compiled. as far as i thought, i should be able to drag and drop this new control on a new web site (after the reference has been set...). well, the new control never appears in my toolbox...

 

are there any important steps to be done, which i might have forgotten?

 

tx for any help or advises.

You add the control to the toolbox and after you drag it onto the form it will add the reference itself to the project.

Also, while you're adding the item to your toolbox make sure that you point to the project bin of the composite control as apposed to one in a different location. (So that changes will be reflected in the project using it).
