ASP.NET Application muddle/dilema 1

[WiseNewbie]

Hi,

I have a little deliema I get:

Parser Error Message: The virtual path '/design/sunny/header.ascx' maps to another application, which is not allowed

This is because i have two ASP.NET Applications, one is inside the other... so:

the root is "MotorWorks" and there is another application inside that "Shop" that is a different ASP.NET Application(theres a requirement for this) however i dont want to have to upload new header files etc to the new directory and so i want to access those header files. Is there a setting i can use to avoid the error above and access the user controls in the other application??

Thanks

Emily

Emily,

I recall a similar thread a while back...and I think it stated that you could not share user controls across applications.

However, I did come across this article during a google search:

Check it out and see if it works.
