Multiple assemblies, one prefix in aspx page?

[Welman Jordan]

I have developed several assemblies for my own site.

They are in different namespaces, e.g.

MySite.Web;
MySite.Web.UI;
MySite.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
MySite.Web.UI.WebControls;

I would like to do this:
In an aspx page, I can use one prefix for those three namespaces.

<mysite:TextBox runat="server">
<mysite:HtmlTextBox runat="server">

The textbox class belongs to the MySite.Web.UI.HtmlControls
namespace, however, the HtmlTextBox belogs to the
MySite.Web.UI.WebControls namespace.

I don't know how to write the directives in the aspx file.
Using <%@ Register ... %> does not work.

Any way?

Welman,

Take a look at the <%@ Imports directive.

Sorry, @ Import does not work.
I have already tried that.

<@ Import namespace="MySite.Web" %>
<@ Import namespace="MySite.Web.UI" %>
<@ Import namespace="MySite.Web.HtmlControls" %>

<mysite:TextBox runat="server"/>

The compiler said that it was an unknown server tag.

Welman,

Now I get what you're talking about. You mentioned you tried @Register, but
did you do:

<%@ Register Tagprefix="mysite" Namespace="MyCompany:MySite.Web"
Assembly="MyAssembly1" %>
<%@ Register Tagprefix="mysite" Namespace="MyCompany:MySite.Web"
Assembly="MyAssembly2" %>
<%@ Register Tagprefix="mysite" Namespace="MyCompany:MySite.Web.UI"
Assembly="MyAssembly3" %>
<%@ Register Tagprefix="mysite"
Namespace="MyCompany:MySite.Web.HtmlControls" Assembly="MyAssembly4" %>

now, you should be able to do ...
<mysite:MyControl ... /> -- where myControl is an any three namespaces

Alex,

Thanks for replying.
Yep, I have already tried that thing as well before posting this
thread.

<%@ Register TagPrefix="MySite" Namespace="MySite.Web"
Assembly="MySite.Web" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="MySite" Namespace="MySite.Web.UI"
Assembly="MySite.Web.UI" %>

The complier throws a parser error:
The 'MySite' prefix has already been mapped to the namespace
'MySite.Web'

Thus, neither did this work.
Perhaps, this is a "Mission Impossible" in .net

Thanks.

I had the same problem, but after stopping the 'world wide web
publishing service' in service, building the application and starting
the service, the problem was solved!

It look's like a locking of some dll when the service is running!
