left nav items

[Guest]

hey all,

would it be wise to make the left navigation list dynamic? i was thinking to
make a .csv file that had the name,link address, etc. And then have the code
read that file, load into an array, and populate a datalist to create my left
navigation list on my .aspx page. Is this too much?

thanks,
rodchar

It's a good idea in theory, and the technology is already there in ASP.NET
2.0 so you don't need to recreate the wheel.
Your solution is ASP.NET Site Maps.
