HTML Reuse for Web Pages

[LK]

Hi,

I suspect this question has been asked before, but I couldnt find anything
specific when I did search. I a using Visual Studio 2003, and .NET 1.1. My
problem is in understanding the best practices for reuse of HTML across my
ASP.NET pages. I seem to be copying and pasting a whole bunch of html per
page, just so they look the same. Is there a best practice pattern for this
type ofg thing?

Thanks

LK.

One of the most common solutions is to make these common HTML sections into
controls.
There are two kinds of controls you can make, User Controls and Custom
Controls.
User Controls are quick and easy, while Custom Controls are more reusable
and tend to have more of a a professional polish.
