I'm such a tease
I'm not usually one to hint at a new metabuilders control before yall can actually download it... but be prepared for a new doodad that I think will really help dynamic sites.
Think of the following requirements for a "news" or blog site.
1) All posts get stored in a DB as text.
2) Posts can contain arbitrary asp.net content, including controls.
3) A specific control to support includes hyperlinks which use ~ in the NavigateUrl to specify the app root.
4) Posts are databound from a dataset to a template column.
Or maybe these:
1) data in xml
2) transform to xslt to dynamicly generate asp.net "html" which contains server controls
3) build the page's control tree from that transformation.
Right now, there's no code-free way to do it, and most people will just say , "you can't". But in fact, I already do it on the main page of metabuilders. Ironicly, I just never thought to package the behavior into a control. Soon I'll have a control available that quickly and easily satisfies both of these requirements.
