Author ascx pages, best practice?
Dee

2005-07-28, 5:53 pm

Hi,
In my effort to make my pages as light as possible, i have a few questions.

I was wondering if it would be better to use header/footer ascx files or,
to use custom controls. Or are there any other way of handling the site wide
menu and title structure.

If anyone could help me with the less bandwidth consuming technique, I would
really appreciate it.

Thanks
Dee

Hi Dee,

what is the difference between a header/footer ascx and a custom control?

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
By header/footer ascx files, I meant to say user controls files with ascx
extension that goes on the top and the bottom of the aspx file. web custom
control is just compiled pieces of control.

I just wanted to find out the industry standard on the page format.

I'm not sure there's an "industry standard" with regard to user verses
web control in the context of bandwidth. There may be some impact in
terms of processing time; comparing like-to-like functionality, user
controls may burn slightly more cycles because of how they're
constructed. However, I believe your question is more about the amount
of data downloaded to the client. Given the same functionality and
visual design, you should generally not see significant differences
between the control types.

Hi Dee,

Shawn is right.
To get more details answers you should post this on an ASP.NET newsgroup as
this is more an ASP.NET related topic.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Dee,

template switching does not influence the performance.

Cheers,
