general question

[Guest]

In asp I could attach this tag as example below to join asp pages together in
a single page.

<!-- File: header1.html -->

<!-- File: footer1.html -->

Is it possible to do this in asp.net ? If so, how do I do it ?

TIA. Cheers.

I'm not certain that it is really impossible, but the *recommended* way
is to use Web User Controls (ascx files) for "standard blocks".

You can then design a header (or footer or other block) in a separate file,
*including* code-behind. Then you can drag this control onto the aspx
page (or even another ascx).

Hi Andrew

I think what you're looking for are user controls

If you add a user control to your project add some code/HTML/text then you
can drag and drop the user control (the .ASCX file) on to any .ASPX page in
your project. It will appear as a grey box in the designer but once you run
it it will appear.

That include file syntax is still supported.

User control's are the more asp.NET way to do it but you don't have too.

First, it is not possible to do what you described using HTML comments,
which is what those are. The only way to "join asp pages together in a
single page is by using server-side includes.

If that is what you're asking about, the answer is, yes, it's possible, but
breaks the ASP.Net object-oriented programming model.

Bottom line is, if you want to program procedurally, use ASP. If you want to
use ASP.Net, learn object-oriented programming, and learn the ASP.Net OOP
way of developing web applications. ASP will continue to be supported for
many years to come. ASP.Net is quite a learning curve to surmount, and is
well worth the effort, but you must be willing to make the effort to use it
correctly, or you will be very disappointed in the long run.
