How do I add a server control to an existing solution?

Question

I want to add a server control to an existing web application but cannot figure out how to add the Server Control to a web page or show up in the Tool Box. All the documentation seems to create the user control first and then add a web application to the solution and that works fine. So how would I add a server control to an existing web application, and if possible within the same solution?

Answer 1

This is all about dependencies. I was able to get this working by adding server control project to the solution. Building the server control project. Then adding a dependency on the server control project to the web project. Next, I built everything again then right-clicked in the ToolBox and chose "select items", pointed it to the "/bin/debug/servercontrol.dll." Finally, I dragged the new toolbox item out. I am sure that one or more of these steps in unnecessary, but it got everything working together.
