FRAMESET

I am building an Intranet application and is more of an "Application" vs. a
typical "Web Application" or "Web Site". Using a FRAMSET seems like it has
many benefits and gives mainly the feel of quicker access and a more
streamlined application. However, am I sure you know of the drawbacks, for
instance F5 to refresh (which loads the default page), I know I can work
around this, but wanted to know what may suite me best in my scenario. I
plan on using ASP.NET Menu for the menu interface.

The user needs to quickly switch between pages like a local application, or
at least quickly as possible. This is a data entry system, not a "cool
looking e-commerce site". Having the whole page reload for every page can
take twice as long. The only graphical part of the application is the menu
and if I have to reload the menu for every page request.you could imagine
how much time can be saved by using the same menu for all pages.

The reason I am looking at using ASP.Net Menu is the fact that this needs to
mimic more of the "Local Application" and the end users will be using this
8+ hours a day, so the interface has to be clean. But I also need to
minimize the response time due to the amount of usage per user. There aren't
so many users, but this is the core application the company will be
utilizing.
I am looking for an opinion.

IMHO, Web Interface for DataEntry is horrid, but that's my HO. There's
Javascript that can refresh just a single frame, or you can have the page
just refresh itself.

Thanks. I am not worried about refresh, I can just give them a refresh
button to refresh the datagrid from the db. I am not really a web designer,
but it looks like I need to use CSS. Remeber I just want to keep content
updated not the menu, as there are round trips required to update a menu
that never changes.

Hello Steve,

Web application has its limitations such as it need to be run in browser, it need to communicate with web server to show, and
etc. For your question, I think the main concern is the performance of aspx pages.

For CSS, Frameset, I think they are all data presentation ways of web pages. If you want to use these formats to show static
pages, it is OK and it doesn't need to communicate with web server when clients are browsing them. However, if the page
need user interaction, what we could think of is how to improve the performance of it.

ASP.NET provides many way to improve performance than typical, such as caching. I suggest you read "Developing High-
Performance ASP.NET Applications" in MSDN. It provides some frequently used tips in developing high-performance
asp.net applications.

Hope it helps.

Thanks Yan-Hong,

I have two primary pieces of my application that make the layout.

- The menu - Although I have to build it differant based on the users group
permissions(this is out of scope of my question). The menu stays the same
through out the session. I thought it may be best if I DO NOT load it every
time for each web request and is why I was thing something similar to the
old FRAMES. It sounds like you might have been suggesting that I reload it
with each page request.

- Content - this consists of datagrids and forms, plain stuff, but is being
pulled from a db.

What I need to know is.

a. should I load the entire page and all. This includes menu items and the
content that changes anyways.

b. just load the content. Leaving the menu alone and avoid redownloading it.
I plan on using ASP.NET Menu (www.aspnetmenu.com) for this. If so do I use
IFrame CSS or User Controls. I cannot seem to get a straight answer.

Keep in mind this is an IntraNET application, no search engines and everyone
will be using IE6.0. This application doesnt have the interface just yet,
and isnt that I am having issues, but rather want to build it right the
first time.

Thanks for your input,

Hello Steve,

That is much clearer now. :) I suggest you make menu in a frame and datagrid in another frame. So the content of menu won't
be refreshed and only the content of the datagrid need to post back to the web server.

ASP.NET menu control is OK for it. Thanks.

Thanks again Yan-Hong,

Sounds good, but I have the option to use iFrame, Frameset and old fashion
FRAM. What method would work using ASP.NET Menu.

Thanks,

I have also been told I can use Web User Controls, but at this point I am
lost...it seems like such simple concept.

Thanks again,

Thanks again Yan-Hong,

Sounds good, but I have the option to use iFrame, Frameset and old fashion FRAM. What method would work using ASP.NET Menu.

Thanks,

Hello Steve,

That is much clearer now. :) I suggest you make menu in a frame and datagrid in another frame. So the content of menu won't
be refreshed and only the content of the datagrid need to post back to the web server.

ASP.NET menu control is OK for it. Thanks.

Hello Steve,

Sorry for the late response.

You could refer to
http://www.asp.net/ControlGallery/de...=32&tabindex=2 for
some asp.net web control samples.

Besides, I highly recommend you ditch the frames and replace them with user
controls.

If you do not have that option, then you will be forced to use copious
amounts of javascript to allow the frames to communicate with each other
since ASP.NET does not directly support frames.

The server cannot directly load a page into another frame. Only client
side code can do that. Luckily all hope is not lost. You can output the
needed client side code from your server code, and have the browser execute
the client side code.You can do that using the RegisterClientScriptBlock
method.

Here's more info on that:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/cpref/html/
frlrfSystemWebUIPageClassRegisterStartupScriptTopi c.asp

Now the javascript you'll need to emit should look something like this:
parent.frames.frame2.location = 'somepage.aspx'

Hope it helps.

Nov 17 '05 #9
I was thinking of using iFrames, NOT Frames. I understand why one would need
and benefit from user control and would work for my solution. My only
concern is that I do not want to reload part of the page, that has already
been loaded. The only data that will change is what would be contained in
the iFrame, which for the most part is a datagrid. I think that this will
offer a better and quicker user experiance. I usderstand the concept of
resuability, using iframes or user controls are the same, but what one
provides a tighter interface. Although User Controls allow you to reuse your
controls, but you are still loading them for each page even though it is the
same control. iFrames on the otherhand allow you reuse the same interface
w/o additional download per page request.

I cannot see any communication between frames other than loading another
page into the iFrame, which is easy. I dont see this as an issue.

If you can take a look at MS CRM, what those pages do is very similar to
what I need my pages to do. I think if I follow that applications design, I
should be good.

Looking forward to your input and THANKS,

Hello Steve,

Sorry for the late response.

You could refer to
http://www.asp.net/ControlGallery/de...=32&tabindex=2 for
some asp.net web control samples.

Besides, I highly recommend you ditch the frames and replace them with user controls.

If you do not have that option, then you will be forced to use copious
amounts of javascript to allow the frames to communicate with each other
since ASP.NET does not directly support frames.

The server cannot directly load a page into another frame. Only client
side code can do that. Luckily all hope is not lost. You can output the
needed client side code from your server code, and have the browser execute the client side code.You can do that using the RegisterClientScriptBlock
method.

Here's more info on that:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/cpref/html/ frlrfSystemWebUIPageClassRegisterStartupScriptTopi c.asp

Now the javascript you'll need to emit should look something like this:
parent.frames.frame2.location = 'somepage.aspx'

Hope it helps.

Yanhong Huang

Hello Steve,

If you input "IFrame and aspx" and searched in google.com, you could find many ideas on using IFrames in aspx pages.

You could refer to :
