ASP.NET Includes Text or HTML Files into ASPX pages

Bari

I'm trying to find out how to INCLUDE a file (text or html
etc) into my ASPX page.
I don't want to know how to create a user control etc just
a quick simple example.

Looking for something similar to the old fashioned ASP
include  but a .NET version.

Hmmm, UserControls ARE the .NET version of how this is done, yet you DON'T
want that?!

Could you tell me how to put 10 gallons of water into a 5 gallon bucket all
at once please?

Traditional #include is nit really a good option for the OO nature of
asp.net. The correct approach is to use user controls, but they can be very
simple to implement.

Add this line to the top of your aspx page
includeme.ascx is the equivalent of the old include file with your HTML
etc, in my case it is a navigation menu

<%@ Register TagPrefix="myProject" TagName="includedthing"
Src="includeme.ascx" %>

To position the include file in the page add the line below to you ASPX
page

<myProject:menu:includedthing ID="myfirstinclude" runat="server" />

Or better yet, in VS.NET, just drag the UserControl (.ascx file) on to the
host page at the desired location and you are done!

I am also an "old hardcore", "Visual" Notepad using developer, but if I can
find a way for VS to generate the exact same (emphasis on "exact same") code
that I would have had to have written, I'll take it!
