I have just started my learning and I have install Visual Studio .NET , a full version, but I don't understand why after writing a very small code and a simple one, I don't see the Server Control I used in my Explorer when I browse.

I Just use one Label and two Text Box. What can be the problem?

You have to add it to the toolbox. Right-click one of the toolboxes, select Add/Remove Items. Hit browse, find your DLL, and open it. It will select the controls within the component to add to the toolbox, so hit OK.

One thing to note, if you are adding the control to a project (for example TestProject), and the control was coded in TestProject, you may have some issues occur. For me, it adds the TestProject dll as a reference in the TestProject project, and got referencing errors all over. So I moved it to an outside project (can be in same solution).

I hope that makes sense.

Hi again,

I have only two files (ASPX , CS). I have drag and drop the Label I used and the TextBox from the toolbox. I can see them at the code and in the HTML view also, but after asking for Build and Browse I see nothing on my page.

Which DLL do I need to look for?

Hey,

OK, I thought you were talking about a custom control that you built. Sorry, that's a different topic altoghether. Ignore the previous reply.

Did you:
- Build the project with no errors found in the application
- Make sure they are declared in the code-behind page (as Protected WithEvents)

Not sure. The label won't appear if there is no text in it. Can you post the code? I could tell if I see that.

Hi,

I found the problem and the solution. There was a problem with the installation of Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect . I had to write this line in my Command Prompt window in order to enable the ASP.NET by myself:

C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\aspnet_ regiis.exe /i

It probably activate the Framework what I needed in order to see the Server Control. I don't know why the installation did not do it by it's own. Maybe a bug!

Hey,

Well yes the framework would then be the issue. It should have been installed as part of the prerequisites. I install Enterprise Architect and it installed for me.

That's weird.

Dose it required to restart you pc? Since, I am accessing from server, and i m getting the same problem, now i have run the command u mentioned, so should i restart server?
