Hi!

I have made a class that I put in a include file.

I whant that class to inherits the page it is currently included on.

like this.
index.aspx
i whant
class car: inherits index_aspx

and
login.aspx
class car: inherits login_aspx

I read something about doing like this

class car: inherits system.web.UI.page
but I cant get it to work...

get this message then:

Reference to a non-shered member requiers an object reference.
when im trying to run a function from inside the class.

Tanks in forehand.

Your terminology is a bit incorrect. The class that is dynamically compiled when the page is requested (<pagename>_aspx) is the end of the inheritance chain. You can modify what class those pages derive from, but you can't make them be inherited by another class. Those page classes are the classes that are being instantiated by the framework when you request a page.

You can create a class that inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Public Class MyPage : Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
   ...
End Class

Then your ASPX Pages can inherit your class by either direct inheritance from the page directive:

<%@ Page Inherits="MyApplication.MyPage" %>

Or by deriving the page's code-behind class from it:

<%@ Page Inherits="MyApplication.MyASPXPage" %>

Public Class MyASPXPage : Inherits MyPage
   ...
End Class

Once you have done this you can call methods in your MyPage class. If you are trying to build a class with helper functions then you don't necessarily need to make a class that is inherited by your pages. You can just build a class with shared/static methods that page code consumes.


Also, the term "include file" is not used in ASP.NET. Instead, the .vb/.cs files that you put in a project are compiled into the project assembly. Then the classes in the assembly are available for use by any executing modules in the application domain where those assemblies are found.

Im sorry, cant get it to work properly.

You say I cant use "Include file", but I am (?).

The problem is that I can use my include file everywhere (on every page) I just have to edit the inherits value to the <pagename>_aspx.

Anyway, I also tryed to use <%@ Page Inherits="MyApplication.MyPage" %>
but I dont know what myApplication is nor MyPage, so that was a big problem, and ofcurse it didnt work.

You have any Idés?

What is this include file you are speaking of? .NET doesn't use include files like you used them in ASP. However, as I explained above, there are certain ways to have a code file that is dynamically compiled because it's referenced by the Src attribute of an ASPX file's @ Page directive. Otherwise code files (*.vb/*.cs/etc) are ignored.

"MyApplication" is the assembly root namespace. When you compile an application you typically provide a root namespace. "MyPage" is the class that is compiled into that assembly under the default namespace. Therefore the resulting fully qualified name of the class is "MyApplication.MyPage". This is the class that is inherited by the ASPX's page class.
