<p>We have a website that uses <code>#include file</code> command to roll info into some web pages.  The authors can access the text files to update things like the occasional class or contact information for the department.</p>

<p>My question is this, I don't <em>see</em> anyone using this method and wonder if it is a good idea to keep using it.  If not, what method should I transition to instead?</p>

I think the truth will-out on this:
I'm a software developer, the syntax of the language is the final part of the puzzle. By employing me, you're getting someone with demonstrable experience of problem solving and logic. I'm experienced with the .NET environment, the CLR and the associated Windows stack, including SQL and Windows server. I don't know the C# syntax, but, I am used to object-oriented approach, I will have no problem getting totally up to speed on the finer points of the syntax within a couple of weeks. You can see from these examples of my code that I'm an experienced developer, I assure you the transition will be seamless. I have already made a start learning the language, I haven't had any problems so far.
