Answer 2

+2 A:

I'm not sure if this will work as I don't have your assembly, but you could try with or without the TagPrefix:

<%@ Register Assembly="GenerateExcel" Namespace="Xander.Utilities" TagPrefix="Util" %>

I'm pretty sure that should do it. Would have been my answer had you not beaten me to the punch! +1

You might need to register the assembly in your Web.config file, or you could always add a code behind page...

Noah 2009-09-02 18:43:07

I see that the DLL shows up in your bin directory. Did you add the DLL as a reference?

Answer 3

A:

The answer was to do an <%@ Import Namespace="Xander.Utilities" %> and then put the DLL in the root's bin folder.

Which file did you put that line into?

Matt Ball 2009-09-04 14:29:47

The ASPX page; for this small project there were no codebehinds.
