Frames in ASP.NET?

Hi,

I want to create a new web application using VS2008 (I'm actually rewriting
what's currenty at www.recordplay.com).

The current site uses frames. Do I want to still do this, or is there a
new/better way now?

Basically, I have that Windows Media Player that I want up all the time
(embedded) playing songs while the user can navigate around to other pages.

In my VS2008 page, it does the red squiggle line under a frame tag saying
not supported. I do see an option for IFrame.. maybe I want to look at
that?

Thanks for any info,
Ron

frames are currently considered "old-fashioned", but if you want to use it
in the administration part of the web, it might be a good way. Current
recommended way is div-layout and asp.net master pages. If you do not know
how to work with master pages, google "asp.net how do I videos".

Frames suck, but for what you want, it's prety much the only option.

Granted, a lot of folks don't like music on web sites either. ;o)

An iframe would work if your main page is the WMV holder, and then all of
your content pages are in the iframe.

Again, though, frames can be a pain. It can make it hard to bookmark
things, link to things, share information, and if not implemented right, can
make it hard for google and the like to index your pages and can also cause
accessibility issues.

I would suggest on your pages have a 'music player' link that, if clicked,
will open a small pop-up window with the WMV player. This will get rid of
the need for frames, and give site visitors full control over the music
portion.

Thanks, but I want navigation elsewhere on the screen to be able to occur
without reloading the Windows Media Player object. I can't think of
anything else that can do this besides frames. But, they aren't listed as
an option in VS2008 intellisense.

Thanks.

They aren't listed because of they aren't recommended anymore, but in case
of WM objects, it's the only way, many people tried to solve it, but the
conclusion was using frames or make whole page again in silverlight or
flash, but that's even worse than frames
