Reference my Custom Grid View in ASP.Net

Question

I have a custom Grid view object that inherits from the base System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView. The code is in a class file. How do I reference this class file in my aspx page?

I tried using:

<%@ Register Namespace="SRC.Web.Common" TagPrefix="custom"%>

But my intelliSense will not pick up my new reference. I would pefer not creating a user control.

Answer 1

In here he says that registering your control at web.config will get intellisense support.

You can register your custom control as :

<configuration>

  <system.web>

    <pages>
      <controls>
        <add tagPrefix="custom" assembly="SRC.Web.Common"/>
      </controls>
    </pages>

  </system.web>

</configuration>

hope this helps !
