web application design

[momoo]

Hi..I'm currently learning a new language of C# web application which requires me to design a web page just like the link below: (www.nyp.edu.sg) .But my problem is that if i wants to design a menu page just like which i have a navigator bar on top/side, when i on the menu page i can select/click on the navigator bar and goes straight to the adduser page. I'm currently using C# web application program to do. So now i not too sure how the menu page can be done. But i try using .ascx to design my menu page but its not workable.. Is there any simple way which i can design just user menu page (on the navigator bar i have adduser, deleteuser & etc..) Anyone who has done it before mind sharing with me as i'm using C# to design my website.. Thanks for your help... :-D Cheers!

Are you trying to create a site that will always show the navigation menu? Are you using .NET 2.0? If not I highly recommend .NET 2.0 Master Pages. With this you can create a master page that will always show the navigation menu. Then each page will use this master page as a base design for the page which could contain the navigation menu.

I've done a site wide navigation control before using a User Control. A User Control is just like any other control on your page (ei, button, textbox, checkbox, etc.) but it is one that you write yourself. Once it is written you can include it in any page on your site. Cehck out this page for a simple User Control tutorial: http://www.asp101.com/lessons/usercontrols.asp[^] "Half this game is ninety percent mental." - Yogi Berra
