Reg: ASP.NET 2.0 Menu

[comzy]

Can anyone tell me whether Menu Control given in VS.NET 2005 supports
cross frame support? If not can anyone tell me how to achieve that?

Thanks and Regards,
Shiva.

This is my scenario.

I will be having two frames and the top frame will be having the menu
and when i click on the Menu i want the menu items to be displayed over
the frame i.e. to have cross frame menu. The menu will contain
dynamically generated items and can have multiple levels.

All i want is to achieve cross frame capability.

Thanks and Regards,
Shiva.

Shiva,

If you are looking for a 3rd party control that has frameset boundary
support, there is Coalesys WebMenu.

However, I'd recommend you take a look at PanelSet for ASP.NET first. It is
essentially a web control that can mimic all of the UI features of an HTML
Frameset, except that it is done using DHTML and all on one page. There is
no trouble with frame boundaries using this model, plus you get some
features provided by the framework, such as state maintenance (preserving
where a user drags a splitter or scroll a Panel) during postback and great
cosmetic flexibility for the splitters.

PanelSet for ASP.NET:

Online demos:

There is an eval for download there as well.
