• Intercept and modify the output created from a ASP.Net page  -  http://www.aspalliance.com/articleViewer.aspx?aId=71&BpId=
  Often it is useful to allow the page to be created, then simply access the output that is about to be sent to the client, but modify it in some way. The idea is to create a custom filter that the Response (HttpResponse class) object uses to write the content. The filter references a Stream object, so it is necessary to derive a custom class from the abstract Stream object. The Stream class has a Write( ) method which is where the code to modify the output should be placed.

  Templates provide an excellent way to maintain a consistent look and feel across a Web site. However, version 1 of ASP.NET doesn't natively support the concept of templates. Fortunately, this isn't a major stumbling block because the .NET platform provides a robust object-oriented environment you can leverage to create custom template solutions. You can create many different ASP.NET template solutions that leverage the concept of inheritance in .NET.
