If it's in app code, it must be a control entirely in code, no markup. That would then be where it belongs

So as soon as I'm creating a control that uses hyperlink, textbox and so on, It should not be in App_Code.

I found a UserControl with this method in it:

public override void RenderControl(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer) <br />
{<br />
   writer.Write("<p><a href="\"/about.aspx\"">" + this.Language[0] + "</a>|<a href="\"/advertise.aspx\"">" + this.Language[1] + "</a>|<a href="\"/contact.aspx\"">" + this.Language[2] + "</a></p>");<br />
}

This feels wrong to me, I would have put it in a normal usercontrol outside App_code and used hyperlinks instead.

If it's code, not a control with an ascx, the App_Code is the only place for it unless you put it in a dll. Otherwise, it's not going to be compiled.

If the person who worked on it before made good choices in what to use, is a different question, that much is true.

So I should only create a usercontrol in App_Code if I have a good reason for it?
I just can't figure out what that good reason is...

I would tend to put them in a dll for reuse, if I wrote any,

Johan Martensson8-May-08 1:46

Absolutely, I would do that to if I were to reuse them.
Could the be any benefits like loading-speed or something if I put the usercontrols in app_code rather than outside?

None I can think of. They only get loaded the first time a page gets accessed, then they live in server memory

Johan Martensson8-May-08 2:01

Yeah, that's what I thought, I just keep the usercontrols out of app_code until I find a good reason to to otherwise.

Thanks Christian...

keyword search

Hi
Does anyone know any good articles for creating a keyword search in c#?
Ive found loads which show you how to search through a database driven website but all the content on my website that I need to search for is not database driven

any help would be great!
thanks

If it's not database driven, your best bet is to use google to search your site, if it's live. If it's not, then you need to build a DB.

OK Basically Im building a web app which will have lots of links and text information displayed on pages. So the text information which is not stored in the database can only be searched using google and not a custom search engine I build myself as it would take too long, is that what you mean?

I was hoping to find some example code on how to create my own search engine but I dont want to spend months doing it.

thansk for the reply

Every search engine, including Google, is based on databases and indexes. The better the indexing, the quicker the searches. That's what a database is good for, there's really no alternative. If your pages are static, you could choose to put the content into a DB, and search from there, that shouldn't take too long. It depends on how complex a search you want to support. IF your site is live, then there is no better option IMO than doing a google search from your site with site: yourURL as part of the search string.

Thanks for the reply.
The app is not live yet so it may be worth putting the content in a database and then just using queries to search the data. I think I will do that.
cheers
