here’s what I’m trying to do :

On a page, I would have a LeftMenu that would be independent of the page, and a RightMenu that would depend on the page the user is currently on.

I want to use MVC from asp.net. I could use RenderPartial to render the menus but on the other hand, the View shouldn’t really handle this – so it seems to me that I’m thinking more WinForms than MVC.

Plus the RightMenu would have to know a little bit about what is displayed currently in order to display the correct menu items based on context.

How would you handle this situation. Also any links that talk about this would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT When I said that the View shouldn’t handle this I was thinking of RenderPartial in every view and that was kinda nasty – I guess the masterpage approach and then every controller putting something in the ViewModel so that the RightMenu would know what to render might be what I’m looking for .

  1. Your best bet would be to put the menu in a master page and assign that master page to whatever views require the menu.
