Hi folks,

Little questions:

I need to load different aspx and ascx files, depending on user settings.
The files are all identically (the pages contains the same asp components) ,
except some layout elements can differ (html tables, images, ... can differ.

Is there a way to overwrite the aspx content from before rendering? (Would
be somehting like loading another template in ASP.NET 2.0)

Sure, this is not a problem. Dynamically create the controls (or call LoadControl)
and then add them into the page at the right place by calling Controls.Add().
Also, recreate those controls upon every postback - that's an important step.

You can always manipulate the control tree prior to Render and that's how
you control the layout. It's the same as adding controls described above.

Have you tried panels. Create a different panel for each user, and maybe
another panel with controls that will always be visible. Make all the other
panels invisible. On page load, make only the panels visible that are
relevant to your user.
