Introduction to the MultiView Control

Controls You Can Use on Web Forms   ASP.NET Standard Controls   MultiView and View Controls


The MultiView control facilitates the authoring of user interface ( UI ) elements used for presenting separate views of information.

The MultiView lets authors visually segregate information into multiple views of content, while keeping the entire information readily accessible.

Essentially, a MultiView serves simply as a container for one or more View controls, where each View object can contain its own set of HTML and other controls, and as such can each have a unique layout.

The MultiView control displays only one View object at a time.

The below example illustrates using a simple MultiView control.

The MultiView control is somewhat similar in function to the MultiPage Internet Explorer WebControl, except that the MultiPage supports and automatically implements client-side DHTML behaviors in uplevel browsers ( Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 and later ).

The MultiView, though, includes support for navigation buttons that can be added to each View object. This allows for switching between the different views by simply setting some properties on the buttons, precluding the need to code the navigation process.
