A file with the ASCX file extension is an ASP.NET Web User Control file, which stands for Active Server Control Extension.

ASCX files make it easy to reuse the same code on multiple ASP.NET web pages, saving you time and effort when building a website.

For example, a number of ASPX files on a website could link to a single ASCX file that contains code for the site's navigation menu. Instead of writing the same code on every page of the website that needs the menu, each page can simply point to the ASCX file, making it much easier to manage and update the menu on each page.
