By definition the src attribute may refer only to a virtual path.

If you wish to share user controls convert them to custom controls and
compile them to a .dll which you can place in the central bin folder of

In MSDN there are a few examples.
In a nutshell:
1. Convert your ascx to a class.
2. For controls in your ascx add a protected field with proper control
class.
3. Provide a constructor for the class that allows you to pass the
context. You will be calling this constructor from your Page_Load event
(in your code-behind file) - this way your class now can still do things
like Response.Write. 4. Provide the Render method overrides to render the
controls

4. Compile the class.
5. In your main page make reference to your class via <%@ Import ...%>
