I want to display in a panel at run time different controls, depending on the menu selection.
Any ideas?
1) Add all user controls inside a parent page with Visible = false. Depending menu selection, make Visible = true.
Advantages – Easy to implement
Disadvantages – Expensive. Every user control’s Load event will be called on parent page is loaded.
2) Load a control dynamically to a place holder.
this.PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(child);
Advantages – Light weight.
Disadvantages – Need to write some code if parent page wants to retrieve data from user control after post back.
