Using includes with ASP.NET

[Jay]

I have a situation where using includes in an ASP.NET page does what I need. I know that someone understandably is going to say why don't you use UserControls. There are two reason. UserControls do not have any design time support and the logic of what I am trying to do lends itself nicely to includes. Master Pages will provide the design time support I need when they are available.

I am using a statement like the following:

<!-- #include virtual="/MCL/Template/Foo.inc"-->

MCL is the name of my virtual directory.

Here is the problem: This works fine for both asp and aspx pages on my servers, but when I publish my site to another server in my company the include only works with asp pages, not with aspx pages. For my local servers I am using both IIS 5.0 and 6.0. For the server where the include does not work IIS 5.0 is being used. The server in question unfortunately is not local.

Suggestions of what to look at?

Are u giving the same path in the server also ? If so have
u created the folders were it is looking for the
file "foo.Inc."

If so make sure u have permissions to that folder.

hope this helps.
