Implementing asp.net user management

Question

I am using VS 2010. Is there a way to "expand" the user control and encode it as a binary (.ocx like) way so that I can just reference it from other projects and the html / code behind cannot be edited?

Answer 1

No, you either cut and paste, or look at user server controls. Server user controls are basically a way to create the same .ascx controls, but all this is done in code without a part of the user interface. If done correctly, you can still have a drag and drop UI for your controls.

Answer 2

As ps2goat says, you want to configure server controls. However, there is a way to create them from standard ascx controls with only some extra effort.

Answer 3

This should be possible (although not recommended) if you put the .NET code in ASCX markup inside the <script runat="server"></script> .
