Including a File

[Corey Bryant]

I am working on a new website - mainly a layout. We will probably be using .NET for it (once we get through some of the legal stuff). I am wanting to do an include file. Looking through some of the previous posts, I see them talking about the web.config etc but I am not certain if that is what I really need to be messing with.

For example, in ASP you use something like

Code: Select all

<!--#INCLUDE FILE="includes/header.html" -->

so is there something comparable in .NET? Perhaps I should just do the layout in ASP if there is not something that comparable and then let the programmer do handle it

I'd use asp or php.

What is .net code anyway?

It's ASP extended. You can code in C#, VB etc.

[Daniel]

I code in VB all the time lol.

In response to the original question.
You can use the method you said or the .NET way:

Code: Select all

     <%		   
          Response.WriteFile ("Yourfile.inc")
        %>

Thanks!

Code: Select all

     <%		   
          Response.WriteFile ("Yourfile.inc")
        %>

did the trick! That will help me on a few other pages actually as well that I had been needing to include a few files in but needed the .aspx file extension.

Yeah, I know - I am supposed to be a "Visual Developer - ASP/ASP.NET" - but still think I missed the boat when it comes to .NET

[alexgeek]

Yeah, I'm not too fussed on it either.
By the way, source was here.

Well done.

won't mean squat if your host doesn't support server side includes. Won't be the first time I've seen great plans be shot down in smoke.
