I'd say it's personal preference from a site management & debugging point of view.
Personally I'd go for lots of .aspx pages, with controls being shared (e.g. navigation / header etc.. ). Its a lot easier to deal with if/when someone says there's a problem on "PlaceOrder.aspx". Worth checking out the ISpyBuy & Duwarmish MSDN samples Best S -----Original Message----- From: Lars Tengstedt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 02 May 2002 12:23 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DOTNET] ASCX vs. ASPX I am building an ASP.NET application (surprise). Can anyone tell why I should use more than one .aspx instead of having one .aspx page which includes the other 'pages' as controls? All my pages have to have a header, a menu, and some control depending on user input. Why not just have one .aspx and just define some controls to input via URL parameters instead of having to duplicate the header and menu to all .aspx pages ?? Any comments are greatly appreciated.
