include file quick question

[sonvel]

hi.. i have added a web usercontrol on my webform which basically in it has a design for a header of the webpage..

i was just wondering is there a way how to add an include file to a aspx like for example:

<!-- # include file=..\..\..\include1.inc-->

i tried it by adding an html page to my project then i changed it file extension from htm to inc added html tags and elements and then called the include file in my aspx page but i kept on getting the error message that the file can not be found....

hope someone can give me an answer i am sure there is a way... thanks in advance

Why don't you want to use the ASCX instead?

just make ascx for the header and drag-drop it into every form where u need it as header..
