Perhaps "Filter" conflicts with something.
fresh VB web application project that I created a control. I would build the
VB web control without a problem. Copy the ASCX to the C# project and add the
DLL of the VB project to the C# project references. I could drag the control
from the solution explorer to the design view of the default page. Build and
run without problems. But if I use "Filter" for the name of the ASCX page
At least I'm glad that VB web controls can be used in a C# web application. :)
