Question

Files:

Website\Controls\map.ascx

Website\App_Code\map.cs

I’d like to create a strongly typed instance of map.ascx in map.cs

Normally, in an aspx, you would add a <%Register… tag to be able to instantiate in codebehind. Is this possible in an app_code class? I’m using .NET 3.5/Visual Studio 2008

Thanks!

Normally, I’d do something like this (assuming your type is ‘Map’ and that you have the appropriate ‘Inherits’ declaration in your .ascx file):

Map map = (Map)LoadControl('~/Controls/map.ascx');
