刚开始接触menu控件，感觉怎么这么别扭啊。

首先说数据访问部分，为了所谓的provider pattern，一层一层的包装，而且都是些黑盒子，虽然概念是挺先进，结构好象也很清楚，但还是让我觉的迷迷糊糊，至于嘛，只是想做几个数据驱动的menu而已。还有那个前台的menu类，那么多的Properties，尤其想到menu类也是个黑盒子，一点都不知道，它生成的xhtml会是什么样的，而我只有一点点css知识而已，想到这里连尝试的欲望都没了。还不如自己动手亲自写一个menu呢，网上好象有好多现成的javascript类，比如这个：

Div_css 结构的，虽然没有asp.net 控件那么漂亮，可也很是实用，至少都是透明的。不过后台有点麻烦，当时的想法是：

1 设计一个类sitemap，从数据库里读导航信息，然后存到一个dataset中，

2 在application_start 事件处理函数中 实例化一个sitemap 和一个sqlCachedependency ，插入到cache中。

3 一个dependency的回调函数,以更新cache中的数据

4 从cache中提取数据生成menu。

这样一来可以想象default.master的代码的代码会乱七八糟。非但不太容易写，写好的代码也不太容易复用。而且还有关于cache的很多问题。

肯定有其他办法，asp.net好多东西我都没有接触过。不过现在想想 provider pattern还是不错，一层api连接表示层，一层api连接数据访问层。

被迫学习menu类，希望它不要太让人意外。终于明白为什么开源让那么多人激动，开放透明啊！

/**//*****************************************************
* ypSlideOutMenu
* 3/04/2001
*
* a nice little script to create exclusive, slide-out
* menus for ns4, ns6, mozilla, opera, ie4, ie5 on
* mac and win32. I've got no linux or unix to test on but
* it should(?) work...
*
* Revised:
* - 08/29/2002 : added .hideAll()
* - 04/15/2004 : added .writeCSS() to support more
*



than 30 menus.
