Just build a string variable (perhaps via StringBuilder) that contains the
HTML of the new page, then write it to disk using a TextWriter (or any other
of many ways to write text to a file on disk); giving it whatever name you
want when you write the file.

But do you really want to do that? You would have to deal with linking to
the page and otherwise making it accessible on your site. It might be easier
to have a "mostly blank" page into which you inject content dynamically at
runtime. Doing this would let you incorporate the page (by name) into your
site's menuing system or other existing links to it, while having completely
dynamic content. In other words, you'd have fewer problems to solve going
this route rather than building a new aspx file on disk.

Take a look at the StreamWriter on MSDN.

Take a look at how to create text files, (changing .txt extension to
..aspx).

It is possible, Good luck!!!..

Jeffs right but I want to add you would be "rebuilding the wheel". Use
response.redirect("page2.aspx") to bring up a new page.

The way how to deal with new site link availabilty could be using the siteMaping.
Combine tohether a functionalty of:
i.e:
*.sitemap file
*.siteMapDataSource
and let say TreeView or Menu control.
