Using Web.config's <system.web><pages><controls><add /></controls></pages></system.web> To Register UserControls

[Nathan Sokalski]

My Web.config file contains the following section to register some of my
UserControls:

<pages>
<controls>
<add tagPrefix="NATE" tagName="Banner" src="~/Banner.ascx"/>
<add tagPrefix="NATE" tagName="Navigation" src="~/Navigation.ascx"/>
</controls>
</pages>

However, I still receive the following error:

Element 'Banner' is not a known element. This can occur if there is a
compilation error in the Web site.
Element 'Navigation' is not a known element. This can occur if there is a
compilation error in the Web site.

I have tried compiling, and this is the only error I receive. Is there
something I am forgetting to do? Is there something wrong with my Web.config
file? Thanks.

Put the ASCX files into a subdirectory and then try it.

Didn't help. I think that Visual Studio .NET 2005 is not realizing that I
have the controls registered in my Web.config file. Any other ideas?

Nathan,

I don't see "src" documented anywhere.
I do see "source" documented, however.

Could you check to see if this works :

<add
tagprefix="NATE"
tagname="Banner"
source="Banner.ascx"/>

<add
tagprefix="NATE"
tagname="Navigation"
source="Navigation.ascx"/>

?

....and let us know if it works.

I am not sure what documentation you are looking at, but if you go to:

ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.NETDEVFX.v20.en/dv_ASPNETgenref/html/852861eb-dba7-41eb-9c34-fa09b99abac0.htm

It contains the following documentation under the Attributes section:
src
Optional String attribute.

Specifies the name of the file that contains the user control and
requires that the tagName attribute is also set.


Also, when I tried changing it from src to source the error specified that
'source' was an unrecognized attribute. Any other ideas?

If the ascx and aspx are in the same directory, you will get an error
stating that the control could not be loaded:

"because it is registered in web.config and lives in the same directory as
the page"

Make a directory, say, UControls and then do the following:

<add tagPrefix='nate' tagName='Banner' src='~/UControls/Banner.ascx' />

btw, there's no 'source' attribute. There's only 'src' attribute in
<controls><addelement.
