when to use usercontrol, when not to use?

[Guest]

Are there any general rules anyone follows to decide when to put some items
in a usercontrol and when to just put items directly on an .aspx page.

I personally use usercontrols, when I need to reuse the interface in several
pages. This can be for example a header, which is re-used on every page.

Craig,

I tend to break my applications into several user controls for the
layout of the application, i.e., menu, toolbars, login prompts, etc.
For the body of the application, I tend to place those in a single user
control for ease of use. For example, if you want to change the entire
design of the interface, you can simply drag and drop the content user
controls within the designated area.

I don't think there is any documented best practices for user
controls, simply whatever you feel would make your life easier.
