I have a Windows application that I am converting to the web. In Windows it
uses many dialog popups to OPTIONALLY gather information IN ANY ORDER and
return it to a central window.
The central window processes the selected information.
I considered using sub-windows and javascript, but most of these dialogs
return objects like datarows. (Is there any ASP .NET support for
subwindows?)
I considered using IFrames, but Iframes load whether they are actually used
or not.
Using dropdowns is not practical as some of these popup dialogs have complex
functionality, and load time would become awful.
Q. what is the recommended approach using ASP .NET?
Q2. If I need to move off the central window to get some dialog info, how
can I persist the OO objects I have already gathered? Is there a tutorial
somewhere which explains the concepts? (XML? Cookies?)
This must be a fairly common issue (just taken to an extreme).
Please share your experiences. Thanks. Marcel
