One of the most frequent gripes most programmers have about ASP.NET 2.x and 3.x is that you can't implement include files across several web sites. Remember the good old days in Classic ASP when you could just put a reference to a virtual file in the code and it would automagically work? In ASP.NET, Microsoft recommends that you use DLLs to share code, but this can be hazardous and complex, especially when updating DLLs in a production environment. It would be much easier and intuitive if you could share source code files in ASP.NET. Some people like to gerry-rig the App_Code folder to do this, but that can cause more problems than it solves.
