Need Suggestions before starting...
-
Dear All, I'm implementing a system add on using framework 1.1 and vb.net as a language The requirement is to build "Outlook-Like" mailbox I want to create three frames, left frame for the tree, top-right frame to display the incoming or outgoing messages, and bottom-right frame to display mail item content. All that is doable but i guess my problems will start when i'm doing grouping, filtering, and changing icons for the tree items and same issues for the top-right frame. U know the group by sender,date,or flags I want it to be fully customizable by the user. So... What methods do u advice me to do,? what controls should i use (for the tree and grouper)? and what are the suggestions and advices that i need to know? I would appreciate it alot :)
Best Regards 3ala2 :)

- Use .NET Framework 2.0. Starting a new project using outdated technology is beyond reason. 2) Use C#. There are many more examples and toolsets build in C# than VB.net 3) Use third-party controls, such as, Component One, Telerik, etc. for the tree. They have already done the hard part. 4) Use Ajax 5) Don't use frames. Use divs and IFrames. Bring up GMail and use IE Developer Toolbar to see how they have made use these.
