I have a table with contact information located in an ASP.NET left navigation page that also holds a dynamic menu. When certain content pages are requested I wish to hide the contact info.

I was directed to look at using a code render block to set a display style to "block" or "none" and then use the code behind to specify the pages. However, I have no experience using code render blocks short of declaring page directives and I'm not sure how I would like the code block to the code behind.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

I think you do this:

In the code page:

Protected tblBlock As HTMLTable

In the front:

<table id="tblBlock" runat="server"></table>

Then in the Page Load run a function to determine if you want:

tblBlock.Visible = True [or False]

I already have an id assigned to the table so I could use that. Should I try using and if else statement to make the table visible depending on the page requested or should I use a switch? or neither?

Hi

Either of them would work, but since the no. of pages may be a lot, I would recommend using switch case, e.g. like below:

switch(PageID)
{
   case "1":
   tblBlock.Visible = false;
   break;
}

Fortune favours the brave, so don't regret on missed oppurtunities.

Thank you both for your help.

Using the id of contact I was able to block the table from those sections of the website where they posed a problem. In case any one can use this in the future here's how I did it.

On the table I made sure it had the following:

<table id=contact runat=server>

In the code behind I set up the following under the public class:

protected System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlTable contact;

and under Page Load I set the switch to read:

switch(pageID)
{
     case "137":
    contact.Visible=false;
    break;
     case "158":
    contact.Visible=false;
    break;
     case "159":
    contact.Visible=false;
    break;
     default:
    contact.Visible=true;
    break;
}

Thanks again for your help.
