title: Sharepoint: Web Part vs. ASP.NET User Control
body: <p>When creating web parts for Sharepoint, is it better to create an actual web part, or is using and ASP.NET User Control (.ascx) just as good?</p>
  
  <p>I already know how to create the user controls that I need, so it seems like the extra effort of creating a web part is just unnecessary leg work.</p>
  
  <p>What are the advantages of using a web part over just creating and ASP.NET user control?</p>
