hi bob,

there is the concept of inheritance implemented in this .NET framework, i don't know 
whether its applicable to web forms too or not but its there for the VB.NET forms
u may try defining a page with common controls and features and then inherit it
with additional features

one more solution is to define a standard style sheet (.css) file which 
helps u in maintaining consistency throughout the application by setting
various look and feel related things such as background color, button style,
text box style etc. 

hope this will help


regards,
smita

make this the default when I create a new web form?
