Advantages to Creating Web User Controls?

[ceyhorn]

I have looked on the web for articles talking about user controls, but I have not found any that go into an in-depth discussion about functionality. What are other advantages to using web user controls other than reusability in pages?
Thanks in advance for input,

Chris

That's pretty much it. If you have common elements in some pages, you won't have to cut and paste 1000 times with a Web User Control; That includes both the markup on the UI, and the functionality in the code-behind.

Controls in general offer the advantage of an event model, easy manipulation of properties on the server, and, often, a simple way to display collections of data without having to build and debug loops, HTML tags, etc.
