ASP.NET: How do I create a widget/user control that can be used with other solutions?

Question

I am looking to create a widget that can be used with other solutions. The widget is a competition widget that can be placed in different parts of the site. What is the best way to do this? Should I create a new solution to hold this in?

Answer 1

Create a new class library project (you can have it within your current solution if it suits) and create your server controls in there. You can then reference this library from whatever websites you need.
