ASP.Net has support for include files. However, the support is there mostly
for backwards-compatibility, and you should avoid using server-side
includes. The problem is that ASP is procedural in nature, and therefore, an
include file is processed in the position in the page script where it is
included. ASP.Net, however, is object-oriented, and your code is not
executed in the order in which it appears in the page. Objects are
instantiated, and their methods are called, and each object renders itself
in the page. This means that using an include file is not only NOT
object-oriented, but the results of including it can be not at all what you
might expect. Instead, try to stick with using object-oriented principles
and methods in your coding.

The most common approach is to replace include files with web user controls.
They basically are like object oriented include files on steroids.
