Partial classes- splitting code behind into two files

Question

I understand that I can split my code behind into multiple pages using partial classes - part of the class defined on one page the other part on another. How is this done? The aspx page inherits from one code behind page. How can it inherit from the other page. Can someone provide a code example?

Although you can split a class in your code behind into partial classes it is still compiled as a single class. So if you split a page into further partial classes (it's already a partial class to start with of course) then it will still only be a single page. The aspx page can then still inherit from it as a whole.
