ASP.NET/UserControls: How do I sepparate the "controller" from the "view"?

Is it possible to sepparate the ascx ("view") and the ascx.cs ("controller") pars of a user control. Id like to move the controller part to App_Code to be resued while the view part is changed between projects?

From stackoverflow

• Yes, write the codebehind in some service class which extends UserControl, and in your .ascx file inherit that class

  <%@ Control
  Language           = "C#"
  Inherits           = "Project.Business.Service.MyControl"
  %>
  

  Niels Bosma : How do I reference childcontrols of that control?

  Spikolynn : If in your .ascx file you have a control In control code define protected Label myLabel, then set myLabel.Text = "x" for instance.

• In regular ASP.NET, even if you separate the code-behind and the ascx - they are still tightly coupled. It isn't a true "controller" (as separate from a view).

  If you want this purity, consider ASP.NET MVC, which (obviously) addresses this in a different way.
