How to Create Drill Down on Web Page

[Mel]

Can anyone provide any help on how I would create a drill down on a
web page? I want to create something like when you search for car
parts the user can navigate the drill downs and at the top of the page
is says something like this:

Chevy>>2002>>Avalanche>>1500

What is the database behind it? I want to use an Access Database to
store the data is that possible? How would the database be
structured?

(Using Asp.net 2.0, VB.net)

Here's a complete example you can adapt :

Are you thinking of breadcrumbs ?
Usually an "at the top of the page" display refers to directories, not to data.

Unfortunately the code project example is in C#, which I am not very
familiar with at all, but that is exactly what I am looking for. I
converted the example project with Visual Studio 2005 and when I try
to run it an error message appears:

"A project with an Output Type of Class Library cannot be started
directly. In order to debug this project, add an executable project
to this solution which references the library project. Set the
executable project as the startup project."

This message makes no sense to me. What do I need to do here?

Egads! I didn't realize that example is for Windows Forms, not for Web Forms.

I'll try to hunt down a dependent listboxes web sample I wrote some time ago.

Can anyone assist in how to do a series of drill downs on a web page?

Yes sir. Thank you sir. I'll check it out and see if I can get it to
apply to Asp.net 2.0 and VB.net.

sorry, I missed the 2.0 part - ListView is 3.5

if you google for "asp.net nested grid" you can find tons of 2.0- solutions
for doing the same thing.
