WebControl and JavaScript

Hi,

I created a webControl that overrides the "Render" method that contains a
pretty long javascript, which is finally rendered as follows:

this.Page.RegisterStartupScript("Load" + this.ClientID,
script.ToString());
I would like to re-use this control in various other projects, but also
would like to know whether it is possible to extract the very long
JavaScript code in a ".js" file that would make reading the code much easier
for anyone that wants to customize or debug my control. Do you know if I can
do it? If so, could you please let me know how (or point me to article/web
sites)?

Thanks a lot.
Mike

Consider WebResources if you're using ASP.NET 2.0.
