How do I share user controls between web applications in ASP.NET?

Question

One option is to try "Add existing" and in the dialog that appears, the OK button has a drop arrow next to it, change it to Add with a link.

If that doesn't work, rewrite your controls as Custom Controls.

It will take a little while, but will make it much more maintainable in the future.
