Hello! <br />
<br />
Sorry for my delay - I spent some time investigating everything, and I believe that the App_Code folder is the way to go here - that makes the most sense. <br />
<br />
I'm going to investigate that process today, then I'll close this up if I don't have more questions. In the meantime, any tips on calling code (or anything that you need to know when storing code in the App_Code folder) are appreciated!! <br />
<br />
Thank you both so much!

Hi guys, do you see any reason why it would be bad to use classic include files? This would be even easier for the team I'm working with, and I'm looking for clean, stable, and easy:<br />
<br />
&lt;!--#include file=&quot;inc/footer.ascx&quot; --&gt;<br />
<br />
I know that's bigtime legacy stuff, but if it works and it's stable...<br />
<br />
Thanks!
</div>


<div>
One last note - I think the above legacy method does not work for things like database connections, etc. because include files called this way execute with the HTML, or after the C# code... just looking for someone to confirm or deny that, thank you!!

<div>
Really appreciate your feedback/support - this is exactly what I needed.<br />
<br />
Thank you!!

Hello,<br />
<br />
I know it's not necessarily best practice, but I have a very specific need to include and a block of code across many files on a C# website. Does anyone know how to work that out? <br />
<br />
Full disclosure - I'm fixing some hand-coded code, so it's good fun. I'm also coming from a PHP background, so go easy on me - there's no Visual Studio here and I'm looking for down and dirty. <br />
<br />
Thank you!

C# Include Files/Content

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.

Web Languages and Standards

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
