WebForms and WebUserControls in DLL

[Formentz]

Hi Guys,
I am very new to ASP.NET.

Is it possible to create a DLL with WebForms and WebUserControls in it, and
then to use that forms and controls in a web application?

I come from Windows Forms programming and I used to store in DLL's many
forms and user controls that I can share between applications.
For example I used to inherit from a form in a DLL to have some
functionalities already implemented in the DLL-form.

Is it possible to do the same thing in ASP.NET?
The Class Library (DLL) doesn't permit to add a WebForm on it... is there a
workaround or something that I'm missing?
It would be nice if, at least, I could write WebUserControls.

I am using VS2005 and C# language.

TIA

Ciao

Formentz,
There has to be an ASPX or ASCX "Page" that represents the HTTP endpoint to
run your code that's in the assembly.
