SiteMesh.NET

SiteMesh.NET is a .NET port of the popular OpenSymphony SiteMesh web page layout system.

What Is It?

SiteMesh.NET is a web-page layout system to aid in creating large sites consisting of many pages for which a consistent look/feel, navigation and layout scheme is required.
SiteMesh.NET intercepts requests to an ASP.NET page requested through the web-server, parses the page, obtains properties and data from the content and generates an appropriate final page with modifications to the original. This is based upon the well-known GangOfFour Decorator design pattern.
SiteMesh.NET can also include entire HTML pages as a Panel within another page. This is similar to a Server-Side Include, except that the HTML document will be modified to create a visual window (using the document's Meta-data as an aid) within a page. Using this feature, Portal type web sites can be built very quickly and effectively. This is based upon the well-known GangOfFour Composite design pattern.
SiteMesh.NET is built using VB.NET and ASP.NET.
SiteMesh.NET is very extensible and is designed in a way in which it is easy to extend for custom needs.
