First you need to place the panel object on your page.

Then go to the code behind and add this where necissary:

<br />
// first load the control object<br />
Control c = Page.LoadControl("VirtualPathToControl.ascx");<br />
<br />
// then add the control object to your panel<br />
panelid.Controls.Add(c)<br />

This should work fine. is this what you wanted? Smile | :)

A cs file has nothing to do with your web page. An inc file is not the right way to use ASP.NET.

Well, if it's a file that contains css or javascript, put it in a master page, or a base class for all the pages on your site.

I was waiting for you to say what it was for, if it was a cs file, for example.

You can use this sort of syntax

in your code-behind if you want - and include global variables or functions within it - but place it before (outside of) the <script runat="server"> tag.

Hello, sorry it was late...

The method I was referring to will only work when your code-behind is actually inline and in the same file - ie not such as produced by Visual Studio, where you have separate .aspx and .cs files.

If you want to include globally available functions in your code behind in Visual Studio, you should create a separate class file and put them in there as "public" functions. (Solution Explorer --> Add New Item...)

cheers

Thanks for your reply.....
i have seperate file for codebehind, say default.aspx.vb...\
what i am trying to do is to create an enumeration for colour indicators
like

<br />
enum Colours<br />
    {<br />
        Blue, Green, Red<br />
    };

In the UI i will show the colour values in the List Control.
when i add or edit the enumeration member, that change should reflect in the UI.
This is the scenario.....

Once again thanks

Sebastian

If you want this enumeration to be available anywhere in your project (on any page) you need to create a new class (.cs) file and place it in there as a public enumeration - eg

public enum Colours
{
Blue, Green, Red
};

To create the class file open Solution Explorer, rifht-click on the root folder of your project and select "Add / Add new Item... " and select the "Class" template - save it with a sensible name.

Then add your enumeration to the class and save.

You should now be able to reference the enumeration by preceding it with the class name.

Thank you very much. i got the clear picture...
one more time let me disturb you...
i have created a file called include.cs and placed in the App_code.
created a public enumeration like this..

<br />
public enum MyEnum<br />
    {<br />
        alfa = 1,<br />
        beta = 2,<br />
        gamma = 3<br />
    };<br />

let me know how to access this enum and list the vales in a .aspx page

i will be thankful to you...

reference it as you would any enumeration, just precede it with the class name as it shows in your new .cs file - somehting like:

enum include.MyEnum;

(Sorry, I'm not an expert in C#)

Technically there is no such thing as a global variable in .NET - it is Object Oriented and you would do good to go research what OOP is before embarking on an ASP.NET application, especially if your coming from a classic ASP background (which it sounds like you are).
Assuming by global you mean you've declared a variable like: (I realise you're probably working in VB.NET but I don't do VB.NET, it sucks)

public class MyGlobals<br />
{<br />
  public static readonly string MY_GLOBAL_VAR = "some value";<br />
}

To then use this you would simply have to import the namespace with a using statement (if the class is inside another namespace) and reference the variable like:
MyGlobals.MY_GLOBAL_VAR;
