NET AJAX CONTROL TOOLKIT (PART 1) 132
Alternatively, you can open and build the TemplateVSI project, which creates a new
project template to Visual Studio 2005 for creating ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit web
sites. Now let??™s talk about the individual controls in this toolkit and see how they can be
used.
The Accordion and AccordionPane Controls
You have most certainly seen this UI element in one form or shape before. Outlook 97
was one of the first big applications to use this type of information organization in a UI.
Basically, this control includes multiple panes where only one pane at a time is displayed
with the rest of the panes visible in a collapsed manner showing only the headers (as the
Accordion name suggests). The Accordion control, much like many others in the AJAX
Control Toolkit, derives from the WebControl class. It is used in conjunction with AccordionPane
controls, which represent the actual panes. These AccordionPane controls are
held within the
tag of the Accordion control. You??™ll explore the Accordion control in
more depth through an example but first some of its properties are listed in Table 7-1.
