>>I am, as usual, totally confused. I found a neat control in a VCX that I want to add to my VCX collection of controls. So I open my VCX and create a new class based on this new control. Now, whenever I compile the app, the other VCX gets brought in and compiled, resulting in a lot of overhead that I do not want to carry. How can I get just the control that I want without re-coding it?

Vlad:

I tried what you suggested--exactly right. This solved my problem. One question, though: if I exclude a VCX from compiling, will my controls work OK on site? Or, for example, if I exclude Stonefield's VCX's, will my reindex routine work on site??

Thanks a lot for the help!
