I have over 25 generic functions that I would like to make available to all my .aspx pages. What is the
proper (and most efficient) way of going about this? Classes, Includes, User Controls, ????

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,
-Ralph

Do these routines generate HTML? In which case a user-control might be
"best" (best = easiest)

If these routines are "business-logic" then create a class

Cheers

business logic only...

Is that the general rule? To use classes for business login, and user
controls for routines that generate html?
when would i use includes?

Know of any good places to learn how to impliment classes?

Thanx...

In short, there are no "Includes" you have to use a "Class"

I would have opted for classes every time but having said that user
controls for UI-centric code makes sense.

If you'd like to use functions (known as "methods" in .Net) without
instantiating a class then having "public static" functions will allow
you to do just this. It's as close to an "include" as you'll get,
although the idea of an include appears outdated in ASP.NET. In any case
a class is nicer as you can provide access to any of the data members
(public variables, properties and methods) and help define relationships
between data and behaviour.

Probably too much info but hope that helped.

 I don't know of an online resource but I found the book Beginning 
asp.net
with c# by wrox (http://www.wrox.com/books/1861007345.htm) very helpful 
on
this and many more examples there. I actually used it to teach myself 
.net
and some basics of c#, im still learning though, and its getting better. 


I also found this one very helpful when it came to database specific 
things:
