Dan Green (VIP) Application_BeginRequest and EndRequest offer an easy way to create headers and footers across a suite of pages (gotta love the asp.net runtime). The issue I have is that the output to be rendered is currently contained in code, with a bunch of Context.Response.Write methods. Instead of code, I'd like to have the content to be rendered stored in a an .aspx-like file. Is this an easy thing to do? Are there ways of implementing IHttpModule with a content and code behind file? I haven't given this a lot of thought, but I thought before I went and implemented a mechanism that just went and read a text file (acting as the content file) from the file system I'd ask.

The only problem I've had with your scenario, is that ALL pages will have that same header and footer. This may not be acceptable in some circumstances. Take for instance News or Tutorial sites. They may have a print button that allows the user to print the content with no header, footer, banner ads, etc... Instead, Jonathan Goodyear wrote an interesting article, that I'm thinking of implementing (and wish I had on 123aspx.com). He created a new page object that contains those headers and footers and inherits from that page object. Let's go one step farther, let's store the header and footer in the web cache and set the content to expire on the file dependency. Any thoughts?

I'm going to take a look at the article. I really like the web cache idea, btw. > The only problem I've had with your scenario, is that ALL pages will have > that same header and footer. Does it have to be so? If we were using an HttpModule rather than the Application_[Begin|End]Request methods, we could at least only enable the module on certain subdirs (by using the web.config file).
