VS- Which web form to use?

Question

User-748188285 posted

I would like Headers and footers to load on first page.

On 2nd, 3rd, etc pages, I do not want to re-load the headers and footers( since they are the same).

I just want to load the new info in the Content ( body) of the web page.

I looked into "web form with Master page" where I had a hidden input textbox in the header section.

I think that re-loads everytime.

Under add new item for a project ( which has items like "Web Form","ASP.Net Handler","WCF Service", etc),

which one(s) would I need to update the "Content" ( body) without reloading the headers and footers ?

TIA

This question is hard to understand. Please provide more context. Are you talking about a master page with placeholders for a header and footer? Posting some code would also help clear up any confusion.

I did use a "web form with a master page" which had headers and footers. During my testing, I think the headers and footers

were being reloaded. For testing I put a hidden textbox in header. PageA set value of textbox in header. PageB when loaded erased the value

in the hidden field.

Yes the header and footer will reload when navigating to a new page.  You will need to either look into building a Single Page Application (SPA) or loading the content into a <div> on your main page using Ajax.

<div>Header content...</div>

<div id="content">Main content... Initial content displays when loading main page.  Use Ajax to load different content instead of navigating to a new page.</div>

<div>Footer content...</div>
