Overview

Apart from Visual WebGui controls that do not come as part of the Visual WebGui core controls there are Custom-Controls, Inherited-Controls, 3rd party Visual WebGui Controls and the Visual WebGui Extended controls. These other controls need to be registered for use in Visual WebGui applications that require them.

Details

To register a Visual WebGui control onto your application, you must first reference the assembly that contains this control.

 
<Control Type="Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.WatermarkTextBox,
               Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Extended,
               Version=2.0.5701.0,
               Culture=neutral,
               PublicKeyToken=85eae29607c9f5f3" />

For example, if you have a Net2.0 Visual WebGui installations and you wish to register the Visual WebGui Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.WatermarkTextBox control that is located in the Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Extended assembly you need to add this XML item to the Controls XML section in your Web.config file:If you have a Net3.5 installation, the "Version" property should have the "3.0.5701.0" value.
If you have a Net4.0 installation, the "Version" property should have the "4.0.5701.0" value.

Notice
 
<Control Type="Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.*,
               Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Office"/>

If you want to register a control from the Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Office assmebly you will need to register all the controls of the assembly by using a "*", like so:You should also be aware that for using Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Office controls in design-time you need to also reference the Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Office.Design assembly.

Visual WebGui integration

If you open the project property page of your Visual WebGui Application Project, and go to the "Registration" tab, you have a wizard that helps you carry out these registrations without touching the Web.config content directly.
This tool is good to make sure the registration is perfect and also saves time.
