In classic ASP, if I have a function that will be used many times, I just
put it in include file, and add, for example <!-- #include
file='myfunction.inc' --> in the file where I want to use that function.

How do I do this in ASP.Net? Got bit confused, especially because HTML and
the VB.Net code is located in separate files.

Thanks in advance,

- Danny

You gotta change your mindset. Look into "class libraries." They work
different, but are infinitely better than #included files.
 
ASP is procedural, whereas ASP.Net is object-oriented. In ASP, you could
create re-usable functions. In ASP.Net, you create re-usable classes, which
are much better, because they can contain functions (Methods) as well as
data (Properties and Fields). Instead of including them with server-side
includes, you reference them (the assemblies/DLLs containing them) from your
other classes.
