I've got a Dot net application which has already got custom user tables and what not.
Whats the best way of creating a portal page similar to igoogle and allowing me to save the widgets state i.e. the location of the widgets?
having already done a rough search I can see a couple of options being
1) Using Web Parts in dot net, never used these before so not totally sure if this is going to be the best long term option, also I can't find any tutorials which explain how to save the state of the widgets by say creating a table to hold the widgets and locations against the current user data.
2) Use Xilinus portal class which uses prototype. seems with this I can create a widgets table to hold the widgets info create another table to hold the drop zone areas and have a linking table linking the userID, widgetID and zoneID which each use to maintain the state the widgets.
anyone done anything like this and feel like dropping in there suggestions ?
Cheers
