QuestionTwo Issues with Custom Control with ASP.NET Site Pin
Dominick Marciano11-Dec-18 11:31

Good Afternoon,

I am working on a project where I will need a custom control added to a site. Since I have never worked with them previously, I decided to try and make a very basic control and a test site so I can learn how to do everything properly. For instructions, I was using the steps outlined on Microsoft's website here. Therefore I created a solution with two projects - Custom Control Assembly and Custom Control Test Site, both of which are using the 4.7 version of the .NET Framework.

For the Custom Control Assembly, the Assembly name is CustomControlAssembly and the Default namespace is CustomControlNamepsace. There is one file in the project called CustomControl which inherits from
C#
System.Web.UI.Control
. This project built without any errors and I copied the CustomControlAssembly.dll to the /Custom Control Test/Custom Control Test Site/bin folder as instructed on the Microsoft page listed above.

The Custom Control Test Site is a web forms site. On the Default.aspx page I added the following directive right underneath the
ASP.NET
<%@ Page %>
directive:

HTML
<%@ Register TagPrefix="Custom" Namespace="CustomControlNamespace" Assembly="CustomControlAssembly" %>


In the page, I am able to add the following tag and IntelliSense correctly finds it:

ASP.NET
<Custom:CustomControl runat="server"></Custom:CustomControl>


However, if I try to add an ID properties (in order to name it like I do with all ASP.NET controls), like the following:

ASP.NET
<Custom:CustomControl runat="server" ID="CustomControl1"></Custom:CustomControl>


I get the following error message:

CS0400 - The type or namespace name 'CustomControlNamespace' could not be found in the global namespace (are you missing an assembly reference?)

If I take the ID="CustomControl1" out of the tag, then the site will build fine again. However, when I run the site, the custom control does not show anything on the site. I tried updating the CustomControl to inherit from
C#
System.Web.UI.UserControl
instead of
C#
System.Web.UI.Control
but it still doesn't display on the Default.aspx page. The following is the markup of the CustomControl.ascx file:

ASP.NET
<pre><%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="CustomControl.ascx.cs" Inherits="CustomControlNamespace.CustomControl" %>
<table>
    <tr>
        <td>First Name:</td>
        <td><asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtFirstName"></asp:TextBox></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Last Name:</td>
        <td><asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtLastName"></asp:TextBox></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td colspan="2" style="text-align: center"><asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnShowName" Text="Show Name" OnClick="btnShowName_Click"/></td>
    </tr>
</table>
<br/>
<br/>
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblFullName"></asp:Label>


And the code-behind is:
C#
using System;

namespace CustomControlNamespace
{
    public partial class CustomControl : System.Web.UI.UserControl
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        protected void btnShowName_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string firstName = txtFirstName.Text.Trim();
            string lastName = txtLastName.Text.Trim();
            string fullName = $"Hello {firstName} {lastName}!  If you are seeing this message, then the custom control " +
                              $"is working successfully.";
            lblFullName.Text = fullName;
        }
    }
}


So I have two errors - First, why can't I added an ID to the custom control and second, and more importantly, why is the custom control not showing on the Default.aspx page even though the control and site built fine, without any errors or warning. Even when I inspect the HTML of the Default.aspx page, where the control should be, it is just empty.

Any help, guidance, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have been at this for over an hour and a half and can't find anything that would explain why these issues are occurring. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
