asp.net equivalent of php's 'Include'

[gvanto]

I was wondering if there's an equivalent 'include'-type method for asp.net pages (like php's include "incFolder/header.php" which includes the header on each page). I have a master page, with a contentPlaceHolder (CPH). In the CPH, I load each page. However, there's a section of (html) code that I'd like to be able to include at certain places WITHIN the CPH (ie. the individual pages). Can individual pages also reference some sort of cph's themselves? (this would be awesome). Scenario: - - - - - - masterPage.master: asp: contentplaceholder id=myCPH . . . . asp: contentplaceholder - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - MyCPH: **Hello world this is my page** HERE I want to include a generic block of code to be used in individual CPH's more myCPH stuff...blah blah blah... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Any help much appreciated, Gerry aps.net newbie

If it is only to be used in certain pages, then you could encapsulate it in a web user control and include that control where required.

hi Paddy, Thanks but its only a bit of html (the page's footer) which I'd like to be easily update-able by changing the code in only one place rather than on every page... Is this what a web user control achieves? many thanks, gerry
