ASCX files

Question

I have a web application project that contains only .ascx files. I build it to create a dll and then reference the dll from another web app project. Do I need to copy over the .ascx files over the the site as well. If i need to copy them over, where do i need to place them?

EDIT: I was able to fix the cause of this problem.

The web application containing the ascx files was a website project that was converted to a web application. During this conversion some namespaces got mangled and as a result we had namespace like: SmartDev.SmartDev instead of just SmartDev.

I had to modify the tag prefix entry in the web.config file to use "SmartDev.SmartDev" and it worked. I had to go to every single location in html and change the modified class file names though...

Yes you'll need the .ascx files. Place them in the directory structure somewhere logical that you can reference from wherever you are instantiating the controls.
