Hi. Can anyone explain to me how to do a site-wide registration of an User Control? Thank you.

Hi there,

You can add something like this to the system.web element in web.config:

Code:

<pages>
  <controls>
    <add tagPrefix="YourPrefix" tagName="ControlName" src="~/Controls/ControlName.ascx"/>
  </controls>
</pages>

You can then use the control like this:

Code:

 
<YourPrefix:ControlName ID="ControlName1" runat="server" />

Hope this helps,

Imar
