asp.net 2005, LoadControl question...

[Andrew Taylor]

I have created a user control (ascx) called MyButton with a code
behind file.

I also have a main page (aspx) with a code behind file.

I want to do something like this in the main page
void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MyButton button = new MyButton();
// or MyButton button = LoadControl("MyButton.ascx");
button.Text = "HI";
placeHolder.Controls.Add(button);
}

Button the MyButton class does not show up with intellisense. Since
there is not build command anymore for web projects, is it because it
is not build ? Could it be namespace related, it seems all namespace
entries are gone as well ?

-- Thanks, Andrew Taylor

Hi,

1) regarding namespace: if you working with "place code with separate
file" you will see Namespace. Otherwise namespace declared in the class
create for page in page compilation phase.

2) due to the fact that that every page might end up with dedicate
assembly (not as ASP.NET 1.X that all pages code behinds compile to same
DLL) you need to use <@ reference .. %> Directive in order to get
UserControl intellisense ...
