multiple web controls using same prefix 1

[xpblueScreenOfDeath]

I have written a couple web controls, but it generates a error if I give it the same prefix; otherwise it runs fine.

For example, I have a login and tab control that uses the same namespace such as xx.myControls. It would generate the the following error message: Could not load type xx.myControls.Login from assembly TabCtrl, Version=1.0.1849.1024, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null

I register the assemblies as such:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="cc" Namespace="xx.myControls" Assembly="Login"%>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="cc" Namespace="xx.myControls" Assembly="TabCtrl"%>

If I give them different prefixes then the webpage runs fine, such as:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="cc" Namespace="xx.myControls" Assembly="Login"%>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dd" Namespace="xx.myControls" Assembly="TabCtrl"%>

Do I have to compile all my controls into one assembly to use the same prefix or am I doing something wrong?

That is correct. If you want to use the same prefix you need to be using the same dll.

The register command maps a prefix to the specified namespace in the specified assembly.

In fact you will need different prefixes for different namespaces in the same assembly.

This is needed otherwise the parser doesn't know where to go to get the control that you are trying to display.

That'l do donkey, that'l do
