I am looking to build a new multi-page applciation from scratch, with menu options defined by each users logon and permissions derived from a database.
Having tried standard ASP.NET controls with master & content pages there appears no easy way of restoring the state of each master page control as the user switches from page1.aspx to page2.aspx etc. SiteMapDataSource works but this seems inflexible.
1) Is there an easy way of acheiving this with Prometheus controls?
2) Are Master/Content pages the way to go (they seem to complicate everything without a huge benefit) or are there better ways of building multi-page sites such as copy/includes? I have cheated and used frames in the past but these cause web security and search engine issues.
Mods please move this to General Discussions
