Could not load type after copy/paste .ascx files into a directory set as application in IIS

[Bogosian]

I am working on an asp.net project.There is a subdir called
OSearch,with a few aspx pages in it which as all other pages on the
website use some controls.These controls are stored in a another
subdir as .ascx files.I made OSearch application in IIS ,because i
want all the pages in it with authentiacation.now these pages couldnt
load the controls ,because they were in a different application.i made
a controls folder in OSearch and copy/pasted all the needed controls
there.changed what the namespace in the ascx.cs and inherits=... in
the html part.now when i run it a Could not load type error appears
pointing at the page directive of a page,which was o.k. before
copy/pasting the controls.any idea what went wrong?

scheme of the project:
project
I
I
____controls directory
I
I
I
____OSearch directory = application in IIS
I
I
_____controls directory content = project.controls
copy/paste
I

thanks in advance

Hi Bogosian,

This error is likely caused by the type not being compiled into your
assembly. After you copied over the files for your user controls, did you
recompile the project?

Happy new year and thanks for paying attention to my question,Jim.
Yes i did compile it and it didn,t work again.I searched in the
forums about my problem before posting and most usual explanation for
such an error was exactly this but its not in my case.Any other idea?

Bogosian,

It's hard to say without more information. Where did these controls come
from? Were they copied from a folder for a different application? Is it
possible you have a namespace problem?

Jim,I solved the problem by removeing the folder from the solution and
creating a brand new project in the solution.I read yesterdey
somewhere that making a folder in a project a separate application is
not a good thing and decided to do make my folder a project.Now
evrething works fine.Thanks for paying attention to my newbie
questions.
