Representing hierachical data on an AJAX page

[JJ]

I want to be able to display items and their categories on a page, so that
the user can click on an item to edit it, or add further items or
categories.

Simple enough, however, I want to do it on a AJAX page (i.e. without
postbacks). Which control or approach should I use to display the
heirachical data?

I understand that I cannot use Treeview? Does anyone know if this is
correct? Any other approaches?

TIA,
JJ

RE: Representing hierachical data on an AJAX page

the microsoft ajax library is not very ajax'y. its more about richer UI
behaviors than building RIA apps. look at jquery (http://jquery.com) and its
plugins.

You also may want to switch to MVC
(http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archi...3-release.aspx) which better supports RIA apps then webforms.

Why can't you use the Treeview?
It has AJAX capabilities built in.
Here's more info:

Steve,

I was just going on what seems to be the common sentiment (at least when you
do a search for 'asp.net treeview ajax').
Your page is most information and I will give it a try!

Many thanks
