Can you build ASP.net User controls as assemblies?

Is there some setting in VS2K8 or some command line utility that can compile my user controls as .net assemblies? Is it even possible?

If you are referring to pure C# classes that subclass System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl, just create a class library project and add a reference to the project in your website.

Yes, use Web Deployment projects. It compiles a Web site project as a DLL.

There is no settings provided by default to support this. But there is a hack and is explained here ASP.NET: Reusing Web User Controls and Forms
