I'm trying to learn how create a web user control so i can use in diffrent projects. I created a simple control just to see how it worked; after I created it, I could add it to any page on the current project and it worked fine.

My problem is how can I add this control to the tool box so I can use it in diffrent projects? I tried to look for him by doing:

right click toolbox > choose items > looking for it.
I can't see the control in the list.

What do i need to add so i can see it?

Here is the same question but nothing help me :( I'm using visual studio 2010.

    You have to look for the actual DLL, did you do that, is your Project a Web Application Project or Website Project? If you are going to want a library of your own controls then I would recommend creating a separate project and create the controls in that project and then reference them from there. – Lloyd Feb 27 '12 at 14:17
  • @Lloyd how do i add a library (dll) to a website project? – samy Feb 27 '12 at 14:25
  • When you build an ASP.Net Web Application it deployes the dll in the "bin" directory in either the "Debug" or "Release" directories. The "bin" directory is hidden by default, you must click on "Show All Files" on the projects main tab to see the folder. You are better off doing as @Sanjay Goswami has said and creating a Custom Control in a new project. – Lloyd Feb 27 '12 at 14:30
