Having an include statement in Asp.Net code

Question

I am trying to populate a string with some information from an include file and I'm not quite sure how I should go about doing this

Here's what i've got

someText = "text <!--#include file='/includes/myfile.aspx'--> text"

Can this be done?

At the moment it is just putting nothing in there

Thanks

Is that a string in Javascript or a string in the server code? — Guffa

No, it's not possible to use an include inside a string.

Just load the contents from the file:

someText =
  "text " +
  File.ReadAllText(Server.MapPath("/includes/myfile.aspx")) +
  " text";

I would still strongly recommend that you use a user control - you seem to be using a classic ASP approach to a problem that ASP.NET already has a solution for.

I think you probably want to be using a UserControl there.

See here: ASP.NET User Controls

You can't directly do this with ASP.NET. It depends if you have logic in the myfile.aspx or not which way would be the best way to go.

I use the include on loads of different pages - we update this include regularly so would like to still use it - is there not a way around it?

All that's in the include is HTML <p></p> tags
