Re: Frames in ASP.NET

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I avoid iFrames like the plague for the same reason as Framesets.
Don't know much about framesets, but iframes still have their place. I would
not hesitate using them if they fit into the design.

I avoid iFrames like the plague for the same reason as Framesets. I agree
AJAX will support what is wanted by refreshing a portion og the page
without a noticeable PostBack but I also think looking at MasterPages
should be considered. I would avoid AJAX though or use very very sparingly
as AJAX can drag down performance if not used sparingly. Like iFrames and
Framesets not everything that has been created has proven to be usefull
in --all-- circumstances and tends to get overused. Personally, I think
trying to beat the stateless model of the web is a no-win compromise for
the same reasons.

You don't need to put the menu into a frame. Instead, show a new page in
a iframe control.Alternatively you can look into Ajax-based solutions,
depends on your task.

Thanks for the reply.
I have a HTML page with frames, but I cannot open it in Dotnet
development environment(Visual Studio). It says "element Frameset is not
supported".

If frames are not good then I am ready to remove it.
As a junior developer please suggest me how to do it?
I have one menu page with few hyperlinks. On click I want to show a new
page on another frame without reloading the menu page.
Let me know if it is possible or any other way to do it.

Please help this junior developer.
Thanks, Mark.

Frames are HTML and if you can't write HTML yet you are not ready for
ASP.NET. Furthermore, the use of Frames is generally considered the
best way to create a web site that is not user friendly nor search
engine friendly.

IMO Frames are only useful for very limited tasks such as a Frameset
using a Frame as a fixed header with a scrolling Frame of columnar data
below it. Otherwise? Framesets are ca-ca

As a neophyte though if you explain what you think you need to achieve
I or others may have better suggestions
