  I got chance to knock up another part, sorry no source code this time, but you might like the idea.

Using the idea from Amazon, ebuyer and MS of the SiteMap at the top of the page I thought I could do the same with my DynamicPanel.  So I created a Webcontrol (not a webpart!) that Spat out a PopperLink (see Ajax and Sharepoint) using the CreateLink method that called yet another httpHandler.

The handler iterates thru the Areas (like this)

Guid homeGUID = AreaManager.GetSystemAreaGuid(PortalContext.Current, SystemArea.Home);

Area homeArea = AreaManager.GetArea(PortalContext.Current, homeGUID);

foreach(Area area in homeArea.Areas) { if(!area.System) textWriter.WriteLine (“<TD valign=’top’><TABLE><TR><TD valign=’top’><b><A href=’” + area.WebUrl +”‘>” + area.Title + “</a><b></TD></TR>” + RecurseArea(area) + “</TABLE></TD>”); }

private string RecurseArea(Area area) { string s=”" foreach(Area areaChild in area.Areas) { if(!areaChild.System) s+= (“<TR><TD valign=’top’><A href=’” + areaChild.WebUrl +”‘>” + areaChild.Title + “</a></TD></TR>”); }

return s; }

Simple Stuff (obviously I have surrounding tables too).

This produces a clickable partial page of links.  The HttpHandler is called by the popper and on clicking the Site Map link (see later) it Ajax calls the handler and puts the resultant html in the popup window.

Then using the techniques here Applying a Custom Banner I placed the asp.net control on the page in the new custom banner.

I noticed Patrick’s post about someone’s demo of ajax webparts.  Well for a while I have been working on this, but not in .NET 2.0 but in 1.1 on the 2003 version of sharepoint.

This has taken quite some time, admittedly as I was fitting it in the spare time I had.  The Http Handler example I talked about earlier was the spark, I had been trialling using this with external web services having trouble with security etc with my client scripts.  Eventually I had a prototype, but this was very messy. 

Now I have a complete example, but I am breaking it down into pieces.  First is the Dynamic Update Panel control.  This is a .NET 1.1 server control that generates all the jscript for a page, allows multiple instances per page of a popup each working independantly of one another.

The picture shown is a crop of a sharepoint portal page.  You can see a webpart with its title and two lines of text.  The Free floating draggable border thing, is the Popup Update panel.  By clicking on a link the AJAX magic makes a request and populates the panel with HTML. 

This is a link to the Source Code for you to try.

Now I thought I’d do an image test with blogmailr. Try tags as well
