ASP.NET control assemblies ?

[Frank Smith]

Q1 - FP 2003 in Tools, Options, ASP.NET Default Locations for control
assemblies ---- what are control assemblies?
No Help in Help - or on the MS KB.

Q2 - If I create an ASP.NET page and publish it - does anything else go
along with the Publish?
I see that a file web.config is generated, anything else?

There are several types of ASP.NET controls; HTML controls, Web Controls,
Server Controls and Custom Controls. Generally speaking, an ASP.NET control
is a compilation of HTML and source code. You can do the reading to learn
more. An assembly is a compilation of controls compiled as a .dll or an .exe
depending on the circumstances. When using an IDE such as Visual Studio or
FrontPage we must identify or 'register' the location of a control assembly
which enables us to refer to the methods and properties of that control in
our code and to enable the compiler to compile all of the neccessary
resources when the page is compiled.

As for Q2, experimentation is the mother of invention.
