prior to the conversion to a web application project a line like the following would appear in an aspx file. <%@ Register Src="CommonUI/HomeFooterLinks.ascx" TagName="HomeFooterLinks" TagPrefix="uc1" %>
this worked fine after the conversion it could not find the .ascx file or complained about it being a relative directory.
tried to move these to the web.config file and which didn't work and then found an article that suggested putting the .ascx files in a separate web project and adding a reference to the .dll in the web.config file. This works my own custom tag <foo: shows up with the .ascx functions as required when attempting to use them it looks like they are not being initialized. Does this really work? if so what calls the constructor for the class...
