A few days ago I posted a new article about creating a generic message display page with ASP.Net. Nothing that is rocket science, but a utility class that I find myself using a lot that you might useful in your own applications.

Creating messages in your Web application  should be quick and easy and most importantly, consistent. They should look like they belong with the rest of the application even if – low and behold – an error occurs. How often have you created a new page to display some simple text or a notification message to your users? Wouldn’t it be much nicer if you could reuse an existing template and simply passed in a few parameters to tell it to render an application specific message? In this article Rick shows how to create a reusable Message Display class that reduces displaying messages generically in you application to a single line of code.
