Adding Social Bookmark Links to ASP.NET Pages

Social bookmarking is often thought of as being something used only on blogs. That's probably because you only see them on blogs, when they in fact could be used at most other types of websites as well. It is a feature that is very easy to add to any ASP.NET page, but I haven't found any simple code on the web I could use for it. So, as so many times before, I had to create the feature from scratch. In this case it was no problem because it is so simple. <%@ Register Src="~/controls/socialbookmarks.ascx" TagName="Bookmarks" TagPrefix="Control" %> Then add this at the end of the text on your page or anywhere else you want the icons to appear. <Control:Bookmarks runat="server" id="bookmarks"    OpenNewWindow="true"    LinkTitlePrefix="Add to"    PageTitle="Title of the page"    PageUrl="http://www.domain.com/thispage.aspx" /> It is very easy to add new bookmark providers to the list as you can see in this method in the user control: private void AddBookmarks() {    AddBookmark("http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url={0}&title={1}", "Digg");    AddBookmark("http://del.icio.us/post?url={0}&title={1}", "del.icio.us");    AddBookmark("http://www.furl.net/storeIt.jsp?u={0}&t={1}", "FURL");    AddBookmark("http://reddit.com/submit?url={0}&title={1}", "Reddit");    ... } I used this page for finding the links needed to use all kinds of bookmarks and this page for the icons. The whole user control only consist of 2 methods and 4 properties so everyone should be able to customize it.
