Hi,

It will be helpful to get your ideas on the following:

 

I am supposed to start a project which will basically involve doing a search and then drill down into that search and then further drill down into that second search.

My thoughts are using a TreeView control in vb.net using windows application.

 

So, should I do this in windows or should I do this project in asp.net using vb.net? I believe using a TreeView in asp.net is not easy. what do u think? if u recommend doing this project in asp.net, then what shall I use as an alternative to the treeview control, i.e. several datagrids, etc...?

 

Thanks guys

I did something similar using ASP without extra controls, The way I did it was to have seperate screens for each drill down like so.

 

Student > subjects > enrolled students > student

 

Then you can go round in circles. you can start from any point.

 

subject > students > registers > students

 

each item that can be drilled down from was a HTML link and the post method of the HTML form was used to call the next ASP page.

 

I manipulated the browser history using javascript and put a link on the asp page so people could go backwards through the pages they had looked at and at any point fork off to another route.

 

Worked for me anyway.
