two problems with Web Site type project (not Web Application)

I have a project which is a Web Site, not Web Application and have two problems because of that.

  1. I have a custom control derived from BaseValidator which I had to put in the App_Code folder. Now on the page I want to register this control by <%@ Register tagname="mytagname" Namespace="PP" TagPrefix="dv2" %> But when I get enter to this page, I have exception, because the src attribute is missing. I can't put in the src attr. path to the App_Code because I have another exception. How can I do that? This is a Web Site, so the sources are not compiled to one dll file, so I don't know what to add to the src attribute.

  2. When I want to add to the Web Site a new project library, I have to compile it and manually copy the library dll file to the bin folder in the Web Site. But don't know, how can I debug this library with brakepoints?

This is my first time with Web Site project type. I always created the Web App.

Solution

  • 1- Don't use tagname attribute here, tagname is suitable for UserControls.

    2- There is no any difference between using library in a web app or website. Just choose Add Reference from project node's context menu and select your class library from project tab.
