how can you use one webform to create a multi-view web application

[Shawn]

Hi All;
i am working on a support ticketing system and here is how i am trying to architect it.
what i want to do is have a single web form interface that will hold the menu at the top, a view to the left and a view to the right. both views(forms) will change depending on the choices the user makes.
hey wait that sound alot like the web news reader i'm using from the MSDN site.
any idea where i can get information on how to build something like that?
thanks for any help.

It sounds like you might want user controls. You can have a placeholder
that will be each 'view', and at run time, load the correct user control
into it (.ascx).

hmm, why don't you take a look at http://www.dotnetnuke.com

its an open source porthole software funded by microsoft. its
architecture is well documented and does what you want out of the box
with no configuration and no .net programming knowlege.
