Working with frames and iframes with ASP.NET

Right, we all know frames are evil most of the time, but you've got the perfect Diet Coke use of frames (“Just one calorie, not quite evil enough!” Quote from Dr. Evil in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me). So you want to know how to use frames or iframes in ASP.NET without the preaching. Here are some of the top resources I've found:

Working with Frames in .NET by Scott Rosa – this article answers the questions:

  • How do I pass data to another frame?
  • How do I refresh a specific frame?
  • How do I refresh a specific frame using pop-up windows?

There is plenty of code, and Scott shows you how to do the three most important actions when using frames.

ASP.NET iframes by Mike Levin – this massive effort has 30 pages devoted to using iframes with ASP.NET. Each page builds on the previous in a logical progression, ending up with pretty advanced iframes usage in ASP.NET.

Web Tabstrip Control for Frames by Doug Wilson – Doug builds a tabstrip control that loads in one frame and updates data in another.

Mark - I don't know if you've ever answered a technical post seriously. Are you having technical writer's block?

thanks Darrell
I've been looking all day for info on this matter, and u gave me a lot to go on.

I realized that microsoft has completely igmored IFrames in their samples and articles and instead use controls and copy&paste code.
I still think that Iframes should be used for the site layout mostly ddue to the performance gain.

sagi - check out Mike Levin's iframes site. He's looked at iframes in-depth in regard to a "more modular architecture". Good luck!

Thanks Mark ... I needed a good laugh at the end of the day.

Darrell I don't know where you scrounge up all this stuff but it's good and usually something I should know about.
