C# .NET include file

Question

I searched a way to include a file in a web application (like a menu, so I won't have to edit it on all pages when applying changes), but haven't found something as simple as

<?php include "Menu.html"; ?>

Can you please help?

Answer 1

Have you looked into Master Pages? They would certainly help you add the same layout across several pages.

Or perhaps you want a reusable User Control (that you write yourself)?

Answer 2

We don't use "include page" in asp.net, even though it is possible (with a different syntax of course). Instead, have a look at Master page concept.
