<!--#include file="myfile.aspx"-->

I wouldn't advise you to use includes though. They were useful in the days of classic ASP as a means of reusing script code. However the object-orientated nature of .NET means there are more sophisticated means of reusing code e.g. Master Pages, User Controls etc. Anyway, database connection details should be stored in your web.config file. There is a specific <connectionstrings/> section for them.

Your database code should be in a class, or in a dll. It sure should not be included with .inc files.

User control confusion

Hi All,
I struck against the meaning of user control. Please i need your comments for this issue
As per my knowledge we use user control when there is reusable logic and UI present in the web application.
But here I am allocated to a new project where they are using one user control for each page just to simplify the amount of logic that is on the page.
Means they have almost n number of user controls for n number of pages. Is it proper way? Do we need to have concern for performance issue

Thanks and Regards
Sandeep

If you are using ASP.NET 1x, the answer is Yes. It should not be defined to have one user control for one page. There might be some pages that share the same user control. And also, there might be some pages that have more than one user control.

plus, the reason why we used to use the user control is that we want to create the basepage for website themes.

I am using ASP.NET 2.0. What makes the difference between 2 ?

We can use master page for this.

So what should we conclude ?

If you are using ASP.NET 2.0, one user control for one page won't be needed for you anymore.

For performance, I don't think that there is any differences between the page and user control..

When we were using ASP.NET 1x, there is no build-in master page. So, we had to create the base class for that and added the user control dynamically to the page.. but when we moved to ASP.NET 2.0, we don't need that concept anymore..

Are you speaking about ascx files ? I think master pages are a good replacement for this.

I don't find any problem in in this design. There might be some reason that they chose this method. May be the user controls was developed by one programmer, and ASPX pages are done by other. So the person who created ASPX pages, don't need to understand what's happening inside the user control. I think it's for easy maintainability.

You need to identify, why they used such a method. I don't think that it will make performance problems.

Well, I think when you use user controls, your logic is not getting simplified. But your code is getting simplified and gives easy readability. Commonly used things can be put in one centralized place.

N a v a n e e t h wrote:

But that user control is going to use by one page and that also single time so there could not be any common things.It contains logic for populating the page(UI) and getting data from UI to data container

No idea exactly why the used this method. May be it's their style of coding. But I am sure that it won't make any performance difference.

Is this possible: Using ObjectDataSource and adding columns maually to a GridView

Rohde11-Dec-07 20:29

Rohde

11-Dec-07 20:29

I have a GridView on a page, and I know some of the properties I want to show at design time, but the rest I only know at run-time. So I'm thinking of binding to an ObjectDataSource for the properties I know at design time, and declaratively add the needed BoundFields to the GridView (then I can also use paging).

For the stuff I only know at run-time I'm thinking of adding the columns at the page's InitializeComponent(), and adding the data itself at the GridView's RowDataBound event.

Is this possible? Any good ideas, comments?
