AJAX Accordion Control

The Accordion is a web control that allows us to provide multiple panes and display them one at a time. It is like having several CollapsiblePanels where only one can be expanded at a time.

An accordion menu is a collection of multiple, stacked panels. Only one of them is visible and another can be opened by clicking the header of a closed one using a smooth transition of the heights of the content area of the panels. It is like having several CollapsiblePanels where only one can be expanded at a time. The Accordion is implemented as a web control that contains AccordionPane web controls. Each AccordionPane control has a template for its Header and its Content. We keep track of the selected pane so it stays visible across postbacks.

 The Aspx Code for Accordion is:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
