MasterPage structure and AJAX-ed splitters

[Graham]

I am in the process of designing an application with an Outlook-style layout.

There are two main "columns", left and right, which correspond to two RadPanes / RadSplitter.

The left column contains a treeview inside a panelbar. This treeview is intended to "control" the content of the right hand column. The content needs to be a series of separate ASPX pages as they contain very different content and functionality.

How can I avoid refreshing (i.e. AJAX-ify) when navigating between the different treeview nodes / ASPX pages? Can I dynamically load in a page to the right RadPane without refreshing?

At the moment I have a masterpage with the RadPanes and Treeview on, with an "empty" default.aspx page, but when navigating between the nodes/pages the whole browser refreshes.

Hi Graham,
You can use the following approach:

<telerik:RadSplitter ID="RadSPlitter1" runat="server">
    <telerik:RadPane ID="RadPane" runat="server">
        <telerik:RadTreeView id="RadTreView1" runat="server">
            <Nodes>
                <telerik:RadTreeNode Text="First" NavigateUrl="First.aspx"
Target="RadPane1"></telerik:RadTreeNode>
                <telerik:RadTreeNode Text="Second" NavigateUrl="Second.aspx"
Target="RadPane1"></telerik:RadTreeNode>
            </Nodes>
        </telerik:RadTreeView>
    </telerik:RadPane>
    <telerik:RadPane ID="RadPane1" runat="server" ContentUrl="about:blank"></telerik:RadPane>
</telerik:RadSplitter>

, where the Target for the nodes should be the ClientID of the RadPane.
