Is it possible to inherit from a base class and still add additional functionality to a web form?

I have a web form (InheritanceDemo.aspx) that inherits from my base class. I then wanted to add some additional functionality and controls not referenced in my base class but the compiler didn't like that.

I guess I essentially want two code behind files. One that InheritanceDemo can inherit from (SimpleCodeBehind.vb) and then one to handle the additional code-behind operations - InheritanceDemo.aspx.vb

I don't think you can use two separate code behind files, if that's what you mean with inherit.

However, you could create a new class that inherits from Page, and then your class can inherit from that new page. Note this is true inheritance, not a shared code behind file.

For some ideas, look here:

(The last link is a really really long post on ASP.NET. Only read if when you have too much free time.... ;))
