Hey,

   A while back I had written a quite large and over time evolved CMS in php for personal use.  Now that I am porting it over to asp.net I am running into some problems that I'm not sure how to solve in asp.net.

   In the backend I had some tables that would specify some information for administration modules.  (IE a name, description, and path to the administration module (blogAdmin.php)).  I would then directly include this php file into a content area.  What would be the best way to implement something similar in asp.net?  IE I want to be able to create some reusable administration module (in a page or control?), and then be able to embed it into a container on the fly based on a users request.

   Thanks for any help.

You can make use of use of Web User Controls.  They can be static or dynamic. I put simple demo and download here.

You can create different user controls like say

blogadmin.ascx

chatadmin.ascx

etc and then depending on the users request, load the needed .ascx file using

LoadControl method

and add this control to the aspx page at run time.
