ASP.NET 2.0 - Wizard Control Steps Problem

[Craig G Fraser]

Hi, Does anyone know how to hide/show wizard steps dynamically from within code. I want to be able to keep the left toolbar visible and only show steps that are relevant to a specific user (eg: based on security). I have created the wizard control with ALL the steps on but cannot hide them. I also tried adding steps dynamically but the dynamically added steps aren't retained in the viewstate. if you reload the step on page load, you will not be able to get the value from the textboxes because of the page lifecycle. Any ideas on this one. Any help will be much appreciated. Cheers, Craig ** I'd rather try and fail than fail to try ;) **

Hi Craig. Take a look at Dino Esposito's MSDN article on the Wizard control[^]. At the bottom, he describes how you can modify the contents of the sidebar by using a SideBarTemplate. There are some pitfalls though - look at his article, he describes them.
