Frames alternative. .net?????

[DaveF]

I have an ASP site that has a frameset below. I am in the process of
redesigning/coding in ASP.NET. What are my alternatives to framesets. The
execute frame does most of the processing. This is a very data intensive
site.

<frameset id="FrameCols" cols = "137,*" border=0>
<frameset rows="100,*">
<frame name="logoFrame" src="logo.asp" scrolling="no">
<frame name="leftFrame" src="ThemeMenu.asp" scrolling="no">
</frameset>

<frameset id=fsRight rows = "51,*,50">
<frame name="topFrame" src="ThemeTop.asp" scrolling="no" >
<frame name="content" src="home.asp" scrolling="auto" >
<frame name="execute" src="blank.htm" scrolling="yes">
</frameset>
</frameset>

If the idea behind using frames is to not repeat the same elements on every
page (menus, et al), you can set up a tabled page and put common elements
into either user controls or server controls. With Whidbey (VS.NET 2005),
you also have the option of Master Pages.

Just a side note. I have the luxury of only coding for IE

A user control dropped onto the page (kind of like include files in .asp)
are a great replacement for a frame.

I personally hate frames, I prefer just messing with tables, and if I
absolutley need frames then I use IFRAMES. Furthermore, I can't quite tell
what you want to accomplish with those frames but I would recommend you stay
away from them.

Wait till it's public, goto a MS Event possibly.
It's not officially out yet as a public beta I dont believe
