I am testing using a custom control for page content in hopes I can use this for a templating system. I have a user control called "content", and I can pass it a parameter for an html page(filename) to output...

currently I have the content control using File.Open to read the HTML files and then using writeline to write the fileread to HTML.. like so...

'This is in my Custom Control "Content" vb...
Protected Overrides Sub Render(ByVal writer As System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter)

        Dim path As String

        path = App_Path() & pgload 'pgloadholds the html filename as a string
        ' Open the stream and read it back.
        Dim sr As StreamReader = File.OpenText(path)
        Dim input As String
        input = sr.ReadLine()
        While Not input Is Nothing
            writer.WriteLine(input)
            input = sr.ReadLine()
        End While
        sr.Close()
    End Sub

What I am wondering is if there is a better/faster/different way of doing this same thing...

?
