Best approach for a flexible layout for ASP.NET application
- by Rohith Nair
I am looking for a best approach for designing a dynamic page.
I want my users to be able to determine the position of set of controls to be loaded into a page.
Should be able to add new controls or swap in and out new controls into an existing page.
Eg: Portal based applications,iGoogle kind of websites
I am afraid that I will be re-inventing the wheel if I go and create a portal structure for my web application.
There are a couple of things in my mind to look into:
Good third-party suites which can do the same
Should I look into Silverlight RIA application?
I have researched about the Infragistics and Telerik controls and the price is high for just a control like LayoutManager which I need.
Any alternatives?
What is the best approach for this kind of situation, to add to the list?
