Modularised web code in asp.net / C#

[Guest]

Hi

I've just started learning web programming with ASP.net and C#, having been an "ordinary" ASP programmer for a few years.

I used to use the #include directive to attach files created which included functions, which I could call to display certain parts of a site (the menu, top bar, footer, etc) to make life easier.

My question is simply.. what's the best way to do a similar thing in ASP.net / C#? Should I still use #include? I've a feeling there's a better way these days! (BTW, these included functions frequently referenced the database).

Thanks for any help,

Cheers

Dan,

User Controls have replaced include files in ASP.NET

Also do some searches on google for ASP.NET base page. Using a base page
means creating a .aspx page that is then inherited by all pages on a site so
that common functionality is always included.

Big changes from ASP to ASP.NET. As mentioned, web user controls are the
way to go. If you want to make a templated type site, you might check out
my RJContentPanel control. It is free and helps to build multi page sites
quickly. I use it in most of my sites. For HintsAndTips though, I had to
add URL rewriting to make it more search engine friendly.

Okay, thanks guys. I've created my headers and footers using User Controls and all is working well.

But what about the "bits of code" that I have in ASP files that I used to use the include directive for? I'm talking about encryption routines, profantity filters etc, just little.. Sub...End Sub routines. I want to convert these all to C#.. there must be away of adding these to my projects at runtime so I can use these functions?

Cheers!

Not at run time -- at compile time. Put this functionality in utility
classes and use these classes from you code behind classes.
