accessing Frames in a VB ASP.NET application

[David Brewster]

Hey everyone.
I am just getting into .NET (2003) now - I've been working in VB6 for some
time now, so my question may seem pretty low level for some - but bare with
me ok?
I have a form with 2 frames in it "Contents", "Main", and "Header".
Along the side frame (Contents), I have a navigation type menu. Now when one
of those buttons get pushed, it should change the page over in the main.
Here's the thing - I have no idea how to access that other page. All the
documention that I've found has said to use parent.frames("main")...... but
there is no FRAMES child from parent.
I must be totally missing the boat here. Can someone guide me in the right
direction?

nothing to so with ASP(X).
Basically though in your frame declaration tag it takes care of this... just
need to name it

BUT.... have you tried dumping the frames idea? I'd suggest, since you are
going with .NET anyway, to look at user controls instead. Life got WAY
easier when they came out.

Frame declaration tag......

hmmmm.....
Man I really am green....

Ok - alet's move on shall we? ;-)
Since I am with NET anyhow - you suggest not using frames...
Use panels and a menuing system instead? (Like an active list bar)

ASP know nothing about frames.
Use java scripts in navigation menu, something like this:

<script language="JavaScript">
open("NewContent.asp","Main")
</script>

Never give up!
