Can't reference my web user control in code :(

[Smeat]

Hi

I have a web application that contains a web user control in a sub directory.

App Root
--> Administration
--> Toolbars
-->AdminToolbar.ascx

I want to pass this control as a paramter from within a standard .aspx page located in the root directory.

My problem is that my user control is not available in any class that is outside of the Toolbars directory.

I've tried moving my control to the App_Code directory which then makes it available to other classes but the compiler complains that i'm not allowed to placed my user control int hat directory.

Any ideas how I can reference my web user control from other classes?

TIA

What are you trying to do with the control? Are you trying to place it on a page dynamically?

I'm trying to pass it as a parameter to a master page so that the master page can dynamically load it.

See if this helps you ...

HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath() + "/Administration/ToolBars/AdminToolbar.ascx

Thanks Jbenson001

I haven't tried this option so it may well work but i'm hoping there is a better solution as this one would require me to change my modify my master page each time a create a new toolbar user control.

Surely there must be a way for me to have a user control in a directory and then be able to access it in code from another directory.

Any ideas anyone?

Why? What exactly are you trying to do?
