Explorer like app in .Net.

We want to create an explorer like application for documents we keep on the
web. Ideally there would be a treeview on the left with a list of documents
and when a person clicks on the file, it would load in the right page.
Question is how to do the right side? I've seen code samples where people
use iframe but I thought iframe was a no-no at this point.

Any ideas out there on how to do this?

TIA - Jeff.
 
IFrame is an easy option, as you only chagne the content of the frame.

Other patterns that might work are loading a DIV with AJAX. Overall, this is
easier with third party control sets, like those sold by Infragistics,
ComponentOne, Telerik, etc., as they handle the plumbing code.

You could also refresh the whole page, with a postback, if the redraw of the
tree is acceptable.

Try Google.
Look for ASP.NET File Manager.
