I am building an ASP.NET application and would like to use a master page to display branding and navigation info and move through several content pages. However, every time I try to load new content the entire page flickers. Is there anyway to avoid this?
Master page:
<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Site.master.cs" Inherits="Interface.Site" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="customControl" TagName="NavigationBar" Src="NavigationControl/NavigationControl.ascx" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title>Registration</title>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="head" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
<link href="Stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<form id="RegistrationMasterForm" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager" runat="server" EnablePartialRendering="true">
</asp:ScriptManager>
<%-- Contents of this div span the top of the page for branding --%>
<div id="BrandingBanner">
<asp:Image ID="Banner" runat="server"
ImageUrl="Images/BrandingBanner.png"/>
</div>
<%-- Navigation Bar, the contents of this div should remain unchanged --%>
<div id="NavigationBar">
<customControl:NavigationBar ID="navBar" runat="server"/>
</div>
<%-- Contains any forms or controls that may be uniquie to the page --%>
<div id="FormControls">
<div id="FormContent">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Content:
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm2.aspx.cs" Inherits="Interface.WebForm2" Title="Untitled Page" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" runat="server">
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
Check me out! I am content for the master page!
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Next" onclick="Button1_Click" />
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
</asp:Content>
content code behind:
public partial class WebForm2 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Redirect("WebForm3.aspx");
}
}
