Looking for ideas/samples for showing/hiding frames at run time.

[Eric Hohnbaum]

The client would love their app to work just like Visual Studio with
auto-hide panels, but that's not realistic. I am, however looking for ideas
or samples on how to make the user able to show and hide a frame on demand.
The app is currently using HTML frames and any solution that doesnt involve
ripping them out is best. I'll condider other techniques but that would
mean a higher price quote that might not get approved.

Thanks.

I would use the third-party panels out there, such as radSplitter by Telerik
(http://www.telerik.com/products/aspn...overview.aspx),
ComponentArt's splitter(http://www.componentart.com/webui/splitter.aspx), or
ComponentOne's WebSplitter
(http://www.componentone.com/Products...seASPNET.aspx). These
are all way more effective and easy to maintain then frames.
