How to include a menu?

[Tumurbaatar S.]

All pages of my site contain a menu bar. This menu bar is some web control
(Aspxlab's BaseMenu). When adding a new page I simply copy this bar from
old page and paste it on the new one. So all my pages contain same control.
The problem is that when I need to make changes to the menu, I have to edit
all my pages.
Is there a way to exclude this menu from my pages, put it in a separate file
and
reference it from pages thru some link/method? I thought about server side
includes,
but the menu is not a plain HTML but a web control. So I don't imagine where
to put
a code associated with this menu control and how to access the menu from
page's codes.
Any ideas?

Hello!

Looks like the job for User Control -> .ascx
Add new user control to the project, put the menu on it and use this
new user control, everywhere You need to see the menu.

In a couple weeks you can upgrade to ASP.NET 2.0, then you'll be able to
configure all your new menu controls to use a single Site Map as a data
source.

You can either use a UserControl or use ASP.NET 2.0's master page. You
can refer the included samples about how to use an user control with
the menu.
In addition to that, you can also call BaseMenu.LoadMenu:
