ConLib/Custom folder override question

[AbleMods]

Long ago, many Jedi believed that *any* ConLib user control stored in the ~/ConLib/Custom folder would automatically override an equivalent control in the regular ~/ConLib/ folder.

However I notice that certain user controls have direct references to other controls and they are hard-coded to the path. For example, 7.0.2 CategoyrGridPage.ascx:

Code: Select all

<%@ Register Src="~/ConLib/AddToCartLink.ascx" TagName="AddToCartLink" TagPrefix="uc" %>

So in these cases where user controls have other user controls are hard-coded, will the hard-coded user control get overridden by an equivalent one in the ~/ConLib/Custom folder?

The force tells me the answer is "no" but I'd like confirmation. Sometimes the will of the force is a little unclear.

I have never had them override- I've had to change the code paths.

No it wont override. If you move some control to custom folder and want all other dependent controls to make use of new version then you will have to change references.

That's what I thought - thanks for the confirmation....
