Hi there

I am new with umbraco. I have following doubt.

I got two macros in my masterpage template. 1) usercontrol , 2) xslt

1) usercontrol macro - this is one linkbutton. code is following

public partial class GlobalMenu : System.Web.UI.UserControl
    {
        //sessionmode : zero : consumer mode : default
        //sessionmode : one : business mode

        private const string sessionvar_mode = "MODE";
       
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(library.Session(sessionvar_mode)))
                library.setSession(sessionvar_mode,"0");
        }

        protected void lnkBtnSwitchMode_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (library.Session(sessionvar_mode) == "0")
                library.setSession(sessionvar_mode, "1");
            else
                library.setSession(sessionvar_mode, "0");
        }
    }

as you see, the linkbutton is used to switch "Mode" in which website is currently displayed. [and page load sets session variable if session variable is null.]

2) xslt macro = it is a menu navigation macro for level=1. every content page at level 1 has these properties - (a) isMode1Page (isConsumerPage), (b) isMode2Page (isBusinessPage). xslt should generate menu according to current active mode (reading from session variable.)

<!-- Input the documenttype you want here -->
<xsl:variable name="level" select="1"/>
<xsl:variable name="sessionmode" select="umbraco.library:Session('MODE')"/>

<xsl:choose>
          <xsl:when test="$sessionmode = '0'">
               <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node [@level=$level]/node [string(data [@alias='isMainMenu']) = '1'] ">
                <xsl:if test="string(data [@alias='isConsumerPage']) = '1'" >
                        <!--li-->
                             <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
                                  <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
                             </a>&nbsp;&nbsp;
                        <!--/li-->
                </xsl:if>
               </xsl:for-each>
          </xsl:when> 
        <xsl:when test="$sessionmode = '1'">
               <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::node [@level=$level]/node [string(data [@alias='isMainMenu']) = '1'] ">
                <xsl:if test="string(data [@alias='isBusinessPage']) = '1'" >
                        <!--li-->
                             <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
                                  <xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/>
                             </a>&nbsp;&nbsp;
                        <!--/li-->
                </xsl:if>
               </xsl:for-each>
          </xsl:when> 
     </xsl:choose>

However it is not happening 100% correct.

when I load page for first time, nothing is displayed. I have to refresh to see changed effect.

when I click on "switch" linkbutton, session variable is changed, however, to see updated menu, I have to refresh that page again. after refreshing, menu appears correct.

what I would want is, ideally, menu should be updated the very moment I click on "switch" link button.

the xslt macro should execute exactly after usercontrol macro finishes its execution.

either I am doing a very small mistake or very big mistake :P

Please help me...

Best,
