In ASP.NET, there is the concept of Master Pages that can be used to include commonly required files. Master pages can be nested, meaning that a Master Page can be derived from another master page, thereby allowing you to compose a page from multiple "pages/files". Inside of a Page template, you specify the Master Page file to use, inside of the Page Directive.

If you're just starting out in .NET web applications, may I suggest taking a look at ASP.NET MVC and the Razor View Engine, a more terse and cleaner syntax for generating HTML. Razor has a similar concept to Master Pages, but they are known as Layouts and these can also be nested.

how to use config file which we usually use for predefined variables etc username and password?
There are many ways to do this, one of which could be inheritance - in ASP.NET web forms, create a base Page class from which you derive your pages; in ASP.NET MVC, create a base controller from which you derive your controllers.
