Standard Page - Inheritance...

Jim Heavey

Hello, my company has a standard format that I must follow when creating a
page.
The top portion of the page contains a standard heading which should be
placed on each page. This "heading" has a form and some javascript which has
"action" which invokes some javascript.
I am trying to figure out how I can standardize this so that I do not have
to copy this code to each and every page. I thought I might be able to use a
"User Control", but I do not think I can do this because it would involve
another form and I am not too sure if one form can contain another form. I
think you can have more then one form provided that only one of them is
marked with a "runat=serv er". But I do not think one form can contain
another form.

Can I create a base page with all of this code in it and them inherit that
page on subsequent pages? I am not quite sure how you would do this
inheretance ...you would have an "aspx" page and then you would have your
code behind on the base page a "aspx.cs". When you create your first page
what statement would you place in that page to inherit from the base page?
Is there some property you can set in Visual studio to tell it that all new
pages which are create will inherit from this base page? The base page would
or would not contain the form with the runat parameter?

Thanks in advance for your assistance....

Hi Jim,

You might want to take a look at ASP.Net 2.0 (whidbey). It has a new item
called "Master Pages" which sounds exactly like what you want. Otherwise,
you will have to go with Controls that are used in all pages. The current
version of ASP.Net does not support visual inheritance.

You might be able to use the page template concept at:

http://www.wilsondotnet.com/Demos/Generator.aspx

In the "template" dropdown box, select "Direct Render", then click the
"Generate Code" button a little ways down the page.

Clarification: that last sentence means that you'll have problems in Design
mode if you inherit from a base page.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
