RE: Code Behind Page

It would be better if you used either a module or a class to put your common
functions. If you use a class, you can declare your methods as Shared so that
you won't have to create an instance of the class to use them. For example, I
have a class of common data routines called SQLDataRoutines, most of which
are shared. Here is a shared function that returns a SQL connection:

Public Shared Function GetConnection(ByVal connectionString As String)
As SqlConnection
Dim connection As New SqlConnection(connectionString)

Try
connection.Open()
Return connection

Catch ex As Exception
Throw ex
End Try

End Function

So behind any of my WebForms I can call it like this:
dim cnn as SQLConnection
dim strConn as String = "Put your connection string here"
cnn = SQLDataRoutines.GetConnection(strConn)
....the rest of your code

Hope this helps.
