Tip/Trick: How to Register User Controls and Custom Controls in Web.config - ScottGu's Blog
How to simplify user control and custom control registration for multiple ASPX pages on a website: keep them all in the pages element in web.config.

ASP.NET 2.0 makes control declarations much cleaner and easier to manage. Instead of duplicating them on all your pages, just declare them once within the new pages->controls section with the web.config file of your application:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<pages>
<controls>
<add tagPrefix="scottgu" src="~/Controls/Header.ascx" tagName="header"/>
<add tagPrefix="scottgu" src="~/Controls/Footer.ascx" tagName="footer"/>
<add tagPrefix="ControlVendor" assembly="ControlVendorAssembly"/>
</controls>
</pages>
</system.web>
</configuration>You can declare both user controls and compiled custom controls this way. Both are fully supported by Visual Studio when you use this technique -- and both VS 2005 Web Site Projects and VS 2005 Web Application Projects support them (and show the controls in WYSIWYG mode in the designer as well as for field declarations in code-behind files).
