Difference between User Control and Custom Control?

What are the differences between User Control and Custom Control in ASP.NET

Solution

  • AFAIK, user controls are controls that you can create out of existing controls and can be part of the project and have a designer surface for you to drag/drop.

    Custom controls are generally external to the project & would require to be hand-coded (using various asp.net control events & html building in the code).
