.NET headers and footers: what's best approach?

[Chris Transcend]

Hi all,

I'm writing my first .NET website and am wondering what the best method for
including headers and footers is. I was thinking either a user or server
control but am not sure which would be best performance-wise / maintenance
wise. OR if there is another approach that is more commonly followed. I'm
interested in performance mainly, but not at the expense of being able to
maintain the headers within reason.

I'm coming from the traditional .asp background where include files where
the way to accomplish, if that further clarifies the question.

Thanks for any recommendations you may have to offer.

will I need to upgrade to VS 2005 in order to develop with them, or can I
use 2003?
