    Best way to create a new user control in VS 2008

    Just curious. Right now I have I'm creating a new user control. In this case, it's a contact us form similar to the form in the Starter Kit. I have the .ascx and all .cs code in a project. I compile the project. Copy the .dll from the project into my site's bin folder. I then copy the .ascx from the project to the /usercontrols folder. Then test. I then need to repeat this for every change I make.

    I know that there has to be a better way to do this. I've tried add the project to the site's project. I still would have to copy the .ascx over, but when I tried this one time and compiled the site, it broke everything and I had to basically rebuild the site.

    Thanks.

    There is an easier way, check out my blog post that is about debugging but also shows my complete Visual Studio set-up.

    By the way, about the site breaking: I think the trick is not to actually build the whole website (which is also mentioned in the blog post).

    In your VS project you can ad a postbuild event to copy the files automatically after every build. This saves a lot of copy paste time.

    Just make sure to also copy the PDB file to the bin folder if you want to do any debugging.
