Hello Richard,
In order to facilitate your work in case you need to implement changes at a later stage of the development of your project I would suggest that you place some of the controls on a master page. That would be the
toolbar (that you will be using on every other page), the
panelbar and
menu (placed on the left side as you mention). You can, then, place the content that will vary in the
Content control of the
ContentPages. I would also recommend that you take a look at our
RadSplitter control that might be useful in your scenario. Please refer also to the demos of the
RadMenu and the
RadPanelBar control as you can find more detailed examples of how to bind the controls using different techniques.
Greetings,
Kate
