Page flow

[McGeeky]

Is there anything available for ASP.Net that enables you to describe the
flow from one page to the next diagrammatically?

There is a product from Java land called Struts that allows you to do this.
Its something I miss in ASP.Net.

Not to my knowledge, but it should not be too much work to make
something similar yourself:

1. create your own httphandler and bind it to an extention like *.go.
See IhttpHanlder interface.

2. do a server.execute of the page you want to display that based on
the information supplied for example customer.go?id=30&action=view
might be forwarded to "viewcustomer.aspx?customerid=30".
Or perhaps based on logic in a xml file?

I hope this proofs helpfull for you.
If you have any questions, let me know.

Hi Marcel, Thanks for that. I'll take a look in to it.

I was hoping that there might be a third party add-on for ASP.Net that would
achieve something similar. There were a couple of great graphical designer
tools for Struts that allowed you to draw the screen flow. I found that one
of the most useful things because it allowed you to easily understand page
flow without having to trawl through code.

Dear McGreeky,

I have never seen such a graphical designer.
Do you have a link or a product name for you for such a tool for
struts?

Thanks.

There is one that comes with WSAD (IBM's Eclipse offering) - though it may
be called something else now. There are also a couple of standalone
offerings for struts though can't remember the names.

This is one that comes with MyEclipse
