MasterPages in ASP.NET 2.0

[David Alexander]

I need to write a web app that has multiple panels that can be resized. I
wrote a demo using frames, but maintaining state between the frames was
difficult and messy.

I have seen online that MasterPages in ASP.NET can replace frames. Does this
mean that they are resizable?

In HTML, do they result in frames, tables, or something else?

Does ASP.NET have something like a splitter control or some other way of
creating resizable containers/panels without using frames?

Thanks,

David

No David, MasterPages do not replace framesets, butdo make it possible to
use different types of framesets more efficiently. There's new controls in
2.0 and its a good idea to go through the QuickStarts [1].

Clinton,

Thanks for the tip. We really need to be able to resize panels and
maintaining state between closely coupled frames is too complicated. If I
can't find the frameless, web equivalent of a splitter control, I am going
to be forced to code my own splitter control with JavaScript and <hr>'s or
merged table rows, which would be a drag to maintain. I keep hoping beyond
hope that a magical answer will appear.

David Alexander

Just keep dreaming. As soon as you let on that you know everything is FUBAR
they come after you ;-)
