what is in the ol toolbox

[Stephanie_Stowe]

Hi. I am an experiencecd ASP developer. I am trying to learn ASP.NET. I am
writing an app which is basically to learn and for me to use personally.
So this is not prime time stuff. Just the same, I want to do this properly
since this is exactly the kind of work I will be doing in my "real" life.
I know how to describe my app in terms of a windows app. I would not have
endeavored to do this in ASP classic, since frankly I was to lazy to
manually do all the postbacks for a nice UI for a project for myself.

I want a tree for a menu navigation along the left "pane." I want a
banner into which I can write info about the app context (what the user
has selected and such). Then I want the main context pane. Imagine a
frameset with three frames.

I could use some pointers on ways to acheive this with ASP.NET. I guess I
am looking for a set of options which I can examine. The requirements are
easy, IE5 or later.

Thanks.

S

There is a free Microsoft treeview web control that you can download and use
for your web site:
http://www.asp.net/ControlGallery/ControlDetail.aspx?Control=75&tabindex=2

I suggest you stay away from frames if you can. ASP.NET doesn't play very
nice with them.
Instead, I'd suggest you partition the logical sections of your page into
user controls.
