For use in the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007, this web control is an alternative to the out-of-the-box "Current Navigation" a.k.a. AspMenu. It renders navigational nodes using list tags.

Anyone who has spent time developing URL rewriters will know that these do not always play nicely with AJAX components. This is because the HtmlForm element written out by .NET uses the actual URL for post-backs, and not the page's virtual URL that you are trying to preserve. This article discusses how this can be resolved cleanly, and also shows how control adapters may be set programmatically using Reflection. This is useful for creating plug & play components such as URL rewriters in order to minimise the amount of configuration required.

ASP.NET version 2.0 includes a wide array of Web controls not found in previous versions. One such control is the TreeView, which is ideal for displaying hierarchical data. The TreeView control can be bound to a hierarchical data source such as the XmlDataSource or SiteMapDataSource, or can be constructed programmatically.

One common source of hierarchical data is the web server's file system. In many scenarios, there may be a folder that contains subfolders and files that the user needs to be able to browse. Using the classes in the System.IO namespace, we can programmatically populate the TreeView with the directory structure of our website. Then, when the user clicks a folder, the selected folder's files can be displayed.

In this article we will examine how to create a simple image gallery web page that's a breeze to maintain. The image gallery lacks the bells and whistles found in more complex and feature-rich image galleries, but this one is a cinch to deploy and maintain. We'll be using two Web controls: a TreeView to list the folders and subfolders in which the images reside; and a DataList control that lists each image in the selected folder..

If you've ever tried to find classes in the .NET Framework that allow you to play audio and video, you may have noticed the gaping hole where this functionality should be.If you think Microsoft has finally gotten around to fixing this glaring omission in version 2 of the framework, you're only partially correct. While some basic audio capabilities will be provided (as described later in this article,) they still leave a lot to be desired. On the other hand, the free MediaPlayer component provided with this article demonstrates a more feature-rich solution to your multimedia needs-and it's compatible with all versions of the .NET Framework.

Have you ever been faced with the task of displaying multiple pages on the same Windows Form? Most of us would certainly respond in the affirmative, and most of us have addressed this by using the good-old Tab Control. While tabs are undoubtedly a proven way of handling such cases, there are situations calling for a "less generic" approach. What if we need to make our form a bit more visually appealing and use icons or graphical buttons to flip through pages? What if we don't want to display tabs at all? Many familiar applications feature such graphical interfaces; however, the .NET framework offers no built-in tools to accomplish this, at least at the time of this writing.
