.NET Forum / ASP.NET / Building Controls / September 2006How do you deploy custom server controls?
I have built custom server controls and as long as the library with those controls is directly referenced by the web application in the same Solution I can automatically see the controls in the toolbox. How can I deploy controls so that Visual Studio will display them in the toolbox without manually adding them? Is there an installer I can use to deploy custom controls to Visual Studio? Brennan Stehling http://brennan.offwhite.net/blog/ > same Solution I can automatically see the controls in the toolbox. Right click on the toolbar and select 'Add Items...'. Select the items (you may need to browse to the assemblies, if need be) that you want to show on the toolbars.

I am talking about automatic discovery. How can I get Visual Studio to scan the referenced assembly and add the found controls to the toolbox? It works when you have the source solution for the server control, but it should work without the source project. In the AssemblyInfo I can set the TagPrefix attribute and then add references to it in the Web.config in the controls and assemblies elements, but doing not automatically add the controls to the toolbox. How can that be done?

It seems that Visual Studio has partial support for it but never fully implemented it. Brennan Stehling http://brennan.offwhite.net/blog/ > > That is a manual process.
