How do I insert text at runtime (but not in codebehind)

I need to place a piece of text into a page but the specific text is not
known at the time of the build. How can the webmaster define a string that
gets inserted into the page ** without modifying the aspx page **. I'm
thinking along the lines of a .txt file or something that can be
"#included" . The text wouldn't change (hardly ever) once it is defined by
the webmaster. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Thanks!

You can sotre the text anywhere you like - File, Database, System Registry,
to name just a few persistent mediums. However, using a server-siode include
is generally not a good OOP practice to use. Try using a Label or
PlaceHolder instead.

Thanks. That's what I'm getting at. How can I put it in a text file or
something on the site and have the label fetch it in? My only requirement
is that the text not reside in the aspx page.

Never mind I'll put it in web.config.

Thanks.

You put a label in the page. In the Page_Load event handler you assign the
Text property of the label from your source.
