Newbie question about old include stmts

[Bob]

We want all our new .NET projects to use the same headers
and footers, with the application specific HTML/ASP
controls in between. In ASP we did this with #include at
the top and bottom. What is the best way to do this
in .NET? I have considered Import, but did not think it
worked with HTML stuff on the same page. Also considered
placeholders, but this means everyone has to add the
placeholder controls to their page. The other idea was
possibly inheriting the page from a previously created
page instead of directly from System...Page.
Any ideas?

Thanks

The most common replacement for old fashioned include files are web user
controls.
They basically are like object oriented include files on steroids.
