ASP Include

[Joseph Beard]

At one time, I developed using ASP and VBScript, and I could use an
include directive to include the contents of one file in the server
response to the client. I have found that I can do this with asp.net as
well, except that whenever I do, I get the error message "There can only
be one 'page' directive." I can work around that by simply removing the
page directive from the file being included, but I was hoping to be able
to use two aspx files, complete with all their code-workings and
everything. Any suggestions? Is there a new, ASP.NET tid bit of code
that I can use to do this? I'm using ASP.NET 2003 with Visual Basic
pages, by the way.

Thanks.

The concept of "User Controls" have replaced include files.. So let's say
you wanted to always include a "For Internal Use Only" at the bottom of
every page, right? Well, make a user control called "Disclaimer.ascx" - and
put that at the bottom of every page..

Don't use ASP-style includes. Instead, create User Controls, and add them to
your page.
