New to VB.net and ASP.net

I have a intranet project that I'm working on and I had some
questions.

I have a page with a menu bar and header title and some other labels
that will not change regardless of the pages being displayed.

Almost all of my previous experience in coding has been done in VB 6
and applications that had nothing to do with the internet or if I
needed to diplays any web content I could just use the browser control
on a form. I did do som HTML and scripting and a little ASP but it has
been a long time.

Is it better to copy the code for these items onto every seprate page
or if I remember correctly in HTML there was a frame control that you
could load the seprate pages into and keep the original content on one
page but I did not see a corresponding tool in the toolbox in VB.net?
(I'm making an ASP.net project)

There are possible mid hundreds of users that would be using this site
at the same time and it is mostly a site that will read and write to a
DB so I need to make this as streamlined as possible.

I will be authenticating users against Active Directory and pulling
out data about the user. I recall reading somewhere that to do this I
would have to use impersonation but not sure about that. Users could
use a diffrent PC every day so I guess that the data pulled would need
to be temporary on the client side as I would not want the data to be
stored locally but I would place the data in a DB for the next log in.
Anyone willing to point me to a good resource for ASP.net and Active
Directory?

I assume that if I need to send a message or make a hidden message
visable to the users that I could do this from some sort of event? Ex.
I would be using this site as well. I would have to alert the users of
a problem I could take some action on a page that I have access to
being the admin that causes an event to fire to all the other
currently logged on users?

The users will mostly be using IE 7 with tabs and I would like to be a
to flash the tab if it does not have focus when the above event occurs
and also be able to flash the button on the task bar if IE does not
have focus. Is this possible?

Thank you for you Help

Look as ASP.NET 2.0's MasterPages. Also familiarize yourself with the
concept of user controls.

I see that you're a newbie to ASP.NET - seems like the site is a bit out of
your league? Perhaps you should start with something simplier first?
