I recently stumbled upon this thread over at StackOverflow regarding the dynamic construction of a Master Page menu based on what roles a user is a part of. The original poster proposed a solution to his own problem, but rightfully noted that it was kludgey in that it didn't scale, but also that it violated the Separation of Concerns (SoC) model of MVC.
View 23 RepliesI have an asp:Menu control on a master page that is reading its menu items from a web.sitemap file via a SiteMapDataSource.When I click on a menu, the new page loads which uses the same master page, but the ASP:Menu vanishes. I have put some plain text next to the menu for testing, this appears on the new page but the menu does not.Does anyone know how to get the asp:Menu to remain visible on the page?
View 4 RepliesThere's a master page that is used by all the pages in the app. This master page hosts a dynamically generated menu. Opening of pages etc. is almost always handled through Response.Redirect(). Here's the catch:
I login to the app and it shows me a default page, with the master page at the top. So the Page_Load() fires for the master page. So far good. Now I go through the menu and select an item. Clicking the menu triggers a postback where the Page_Load() of the master page is called again. After that the Page_Load() of the desired content page is fired, and then the Page_Load() of the Master page is fired yet again! So each time I click a menu item, the master page is loaded twice!
we've started writing a standard toolkit for our asp.net applications including one standard master page, stylesheet, errorpage, noaccesspage etc. that will be used by all our applications. Is there a way we can add these pages to each individual application from one central location - so if any of these standard pages change, we only have to change them once and not numerous times in our individual projects?? I tried to build these pages into a standard .dll to no avail.

i have this situation: i have to build a menu with datasource from the db, because i have to filter them among the user that is loged in. i have tried building a menu using repeater, and all this works fine till i realized that i wanted the menu with more than two levels. i have also tried with treeview, but i really don't want this solution (problem with the style and the treeview doesn't have a pretty view).
View 1 RepliesI have a MasterPage where I use the menu control. Clicking a menu item loads a new content page. That part works fine.
I would like to use staticselected style to change the look of the selected menu item. However, when the new content page loads, the staticselectedsyle formatting does not work.
I have a master page with an unordered list that contains items like, Home, Messages etc.
Now I am working on an EditProfile.aspx page and I want the menu to change and have items like Basic Information, Profile Picture etc. Sort of like facebook. What is the best way to accomplish this...

On content page (Login.aspx), I got Uesr Type. For Admin type only, I need to show the above bold menu item. No problem for getting User Type as "Admin". Just problem is that, how to visible/in-visible or enabled/disabled above bold text menu item?
but I've tried everything I could think of and am at the end of my rope. I've got a page (faithfamilychurch.com/v2aspx/Default.aspx) that I am trying to get the flyout menu and flyout quicklinks at the top to come out over the contentPage content. I've set the z-index of each to much higher values than the content page, but still nothing. I've tried the tactic of changing the contentPage z-index to -1, but there is some master page content that needs to appear behind the contentPlaceHolder. Code below.
Master Page:

I'm using this wdCalendar code I found to add a Google calendar like calendar to my application. It uses mostly JQuery to work. Anyways, I notice when I use a pull down menu from the master page, the content page is blocking it (see attached image).
View 1 RepliesI am using Spry menu bar in asp.net but the problem is that when i use the menubar js and the css alongwith the javascript to initiate the widget in a master page nothing happens on mouse over while when i use the same code in a simple .net page it works perfectly. Am i missing something. A menu should be used in master page but if spry menu does not work in master page this way then i might have to move the menu to internal pages which is obviously not a preferred way.
View 1 RepliesSo i want to create a simple menu but i'm just getting started so here is my thoughts.
1)I've seen a lot of javascript based menus.Can i incorporate one of them inside a server control?Also can i use roles to determine who views what page?With sitemap?
2)Sitemap ok for menus and roles?
3)I'm testing a menu control with a SiteMapDataSource. Ok i have much problems but the no1 problem is that i want the tabs to go horizontal in the page and not vertical.
[code]....
I thought i could change the sitemap but it only allows on sitemapnode. Here is a sitemap i have done long time ago and i used it. I don't know why i have set p.e. ?cat=usr, probably wrong?I don't get anything from a querystring.Ajnyway i thought i'll leave it so you may comment.

View 5 RepliesSO I download jqcalendar to include in my application as a starting point for a calendar (it is basically like Google calendar using JQuery/ASP.NET). I notice however when I click on a menu item on the master page, it shows up behind the content on the content page, as you can see here looking at the Maintenance menu:
I figure it has something to do with how the JQuery is rendering the page, but honestly not sure how to fix it. Here is the Jquery and HTML for the page:
Code:
<%@ Page Title="" Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/Site.master" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Calendar.aspx.vb" Inherits="Admin_Calendar" Theme="jqCalendar" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="HeadContent" Runat="Server">

I have a Menu control in my master page, which I dynamicly add items to in each content page:

how can I call the method if it's in the content page?
I thought about saving in the ViewState something that will mark it was clicked, but the MenuItemClicked event is fired after Page_Load event is fired.
I'm working on a web application that uses ASP.NET 3.5 and C#. Structurally, I have a master page with a menu control on it. The control serves as my navigation, and it gets its items from a SiteMapDataSource control and a corresponding Web.sitemap file.
The problem is that some styles do not render properly when you specify the CssClass property. More specifically, the selected and hover styles don't respond to css styles. Consider the code below:
[code]....
any insight into what is causing this problem and how to neatly work around it? I'm aware I might be able to programmically determine the current page and select the corresponding menu item manually so it receives the proper style class, but before I resort to hacking C# and Javascript together to fix this functionality.
Is there a convenient way to change the style of a menu item in an MVC master page? I want to show which menu item is currently being active. So far, the only way I could think of was a brute force way, to duplicate the menu in multiple master pages, and mark one as selected:

I'm trying to create an ASP.NET MVC master page so the site navigation on it will look like this:
Main Menu:Home | About | News
Sub Menu: Home_Page1 | Home_Page2
The Sub Menu section should always show sub-menu for the currently selected Main Menu page (on the example above 'Home' page is selected) unless a user hovers the mouse on another Main Menu item (then it shows that item's sub-menu instead).
I am Unable to customize a menu bar in the master page, so that it is at the middle, and extending to width of the page, like in [URL]. But when i customized a drop down menu bar and trying to align, i am unable to figure out how to do it such that it appears as the above example, find code below. I uploaded my code onto this link, its all in txt file, so take a look at it as when i try to post the code here, it is automatically turning it into a webpage.
