User Controls in VS.NET 2003

[A.M]

Hi,

When I drop a ASP.NET control from toolbox into my page, It automatically
puts something like this line in my code behind class defenition:

protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox TextBox1;

But it doesn't do same thing with user controls.

I have to drag and drop my user control from "SOLUTION EXPLORER" into the
page, and I have to declare the control manually by typing it.

I don't mind to type it; however just in case, Am i missing something ?

Thanks,
Ali

No, not missing anything...that's what you have to do

That's odd, in VS.NET 2002 all you have to do is drag it from the Solution
Explorer on to the page. You don't have to declare it as this is done
automatically for you when you drop it on the page.

Afaik, if it's specifically a "user control", as opposed to one of the canned ones already in the toolbox, it's *registered* when you drop it on the form and would show up at run-time, but you need to declare the protected variable if you want to do anything with it in the code-behind. Not sure if that's different from VS 2002 or not
