How To: Run Web Control next to an application during development

So here at work, we are trying to get some web controls to work with pop-up windows. Here is a nice easy way to set up your test envirnoment.

Create a new website for testing. Eg. WebControlTester.

within the Solution Explorer place your web control into a new folder App_Code

then add a web.config file to the Solution Explorer.

Within the web.config file add:

<pages>
  <controls>
    <add namespace="Your.Namespace.In.WebControl" tagprefix="SomeTagPrefix">
  </controls>
</pages>

Now you can edit your web control, build it and then switch to the web site and run it.
