    // Name: Menu pagelet for ASP.NET
    // Description:Simple server-side menu control - kind of - for ASP.NET pages. It's best suited for a site where all pages use the same menu. All pages share the same pagelet, which contains all the menu items and the logic. You can define two menu levels (main menu and submenus). When you click on a main menu item the submenu drops down. The currently shown page is shown bold in the menu.
    The code contains the pagelet (navbar.ascx) and a sample page using it.

    //
    // Inputs:None
    //
    // Returns:None
    //
    //Assumes:The code uses VB.NET syntax but almost no dotnet features. You could adapt the code to work under plain ASP as well. The pagelet would become an include then. However, this is less elegant then using pagelets in ASP.NET.
    You can see the code in action at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.klemid.de/aspmenu.aspx" target="_blank">www.klemid.de/aspmenu.aspx</a>. 
    Maybe you need my styles.css to make it look good.

    <hr>
    See how the menu on the left side of my pages is implemented. It is done by an 
    ASP.NET pagelet. Of course, you can buy a full-blown ASP.NET menu control like 
    the ones found at <A href="http://www.asp.net">www.asp.net</A>
    , but those are not free and they are mostly overkill for a small web site 
    having only one menu.
    <P></P>
    <P>Although the code here works only for ASP.NET it would be an easy exercise the 
    adapt it for pure ASP.
