Smart Navigation


It's true that the Smart Navigation option proposed by MS is not really reliable.

I just discovered the matter this afternoon where this feature crashed very quickly on a single page.

If I understand well, the idea behind is to use some hidden Iframe to freeze some portions of the page.

So my message to the .Net team is:

Can you make something similar to SmartNavigations tested and working for .Net 2 ?

I am sure that a lot of developers who work on Intranet projects could appreciate to not having every button click on a page doing another refresh.

My Intranet users complain now a lot about this, and I am not going to develop for them a windows forms software for them, I really enjoy to use the browser for my gui.

  • I had smart navigation on a page and it would take for ever to load. I couldn't figure out what the problem was. I turned smart navigation off, and the page started loading immediately.

  • hiii am using SmartNavigation, but its interfering with validator.I had to retain the page view after the postback.If anyone got a solution please let me know

    Thanks in advance,

  • Yep, I tried to use Smart Navigation for my local Intranet site, and when users try to access this in a metaframe environment it returns an error and closes out IE. Amazingly enought, I turned off Smart Nav. and the error went away!



    I do agree, it is a wonderful idea, but the implementation doesn't work. Would love to see this in a future release of asp.net but would like to see it work!
