Hey folks,
I am re-writing an ASP.Net site for a company.
The client wants to be responsible for the static content and navigation of
their site, and I'll be responsible for any dynamic content.

I'm using Infragistics Ultra Web Navigator, which can load the menus from an
XML file, so the navigation requirement is taken care of.

I had created a generic aspx file that accepts the static content filename
as a query string. The ASPX form has a header user web control (containg
the menu control) and a footer user web control.
Between the two, I'm using a select statement based on the query string to
process the appropriate include file statements for the "guts" of the static
content.

This works fine right now, however, if the client wants to add new static
pages, the default.aspx file has to be edited to add the case for the new
web page.

This seems like a clunky way to do it, and I can't figure out how go
generate the include file line dynamically.

Could anyone point me in a direction that will accomplish this?


Thanks in advance,
-Buddy Robbins

You could use Response.WriteFile, load content as an ASCX file etc...

You will want to use the User Control way (ASCX). As you can take and use
the Page.LoadControl(stringFromQueryString + ".ascx") and add this control
to a placeholder.

<asplaceHolder id="place" runat="server" />

In code...

Sub Page_Load()

Dim somevar as string
If Request.QueryString("querystringvarname") Is Nothing Then
somevar = "somecontrolThatShowsError"
Else
somevar = Request.Querystring("querystringvarname")
End If

place.Controls.Add(Page.LoadControl(somevar & ".ascx"))

End Sub

HTH.
