<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>For your display part of .aspx page,</FONT>

</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>yes you're right</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>i think its a fundamental thing that you can't do
with dot net and that any </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>server side actions have to be posted back to the
same page.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>I am still confused in light of this how you are
supposed to use the code </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>behind pages...a seperate class for every page seems
silly because many </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>pages contain the same elements and you dont want to
rewrite these elements </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>for each class. I was a big fan of include
structures but with codebehind </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>iam not sure how these fit in.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>I find myself repeating code in classes in codebehind
pages and also in the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>aspx pages. you can only have one server side form
per page also which is a </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>limitation becuase although you can have multiple
input elements and buttons </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>the 'enter' button will default to the first element
on the form. so when </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>the user hits enter it will submit the first
'virtual form' even thought the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>users focus is on another one.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>any ideas?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>Ben</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>ps doesnt a seperate class for each page negate code
reusability or can you </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=3D2>import multiple classes from the same
namespace</FONT>
