Hi,
I would like to use user controls such that my complete site contains just only user controls, but aspx pages which hold them.
i would like to have only one aspx page for diaplaying the controls, but dynamically i would like to load each control based on some criteria and display only one at a time.

it means that Ill be having many user controls and only one .aspx page, and based on the query string, or session value i decide which page needs to be displayed ad display that.

is this the better practice. please help

Master Pages

1. "Standardize Your Site Fast With Master Pages" (has sample with source):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnaspp/html/aspnet-standardize-masterpages.asp

2. www.wilsondotnet.com presents the topic well.

3. Search google for "master page".

Its basically a control that adds controls to itself. Although there are
many other ways to accomplish this, the beauty of Master Pages is that
theres a name (and lots of links) to refer to rather then having to explain
some obscure process.
