Code Blocks Inside Master Pages Cause Trouble

List Control tagPrefixes In Web.config

Published: 5/26/2006 | Updated: 5/26/2006 | Discuss

In ASP.NET 1.x, whenever you developed a custom server control, you had to @ Register it on every page where it appeared. In 2.0 there’s a new configuration section in web.config, <controls>, where you can list all tagPrefixes for custom server and user controls. This way you don’t need to @ Register them.

MSDN also states, You can use the same tagPrefix value to map to multiple assemblies or namespaces. Nice!
