The Accordion is a web control that allows you 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. 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.
It also supports three AutoSize modes so it can fit in a variety of layouts. None
- The Accordion grows/shrinks without restriction. This can cause other elements
on your page to move up and down with it. Limit – The Accordion never grows larger
than the value specified by its Height property. This will cause the content to
scroll if it is too large to be displayed. Fill – The Accordion always stays the
exact same size as its Height property. This will cause the content to be expanded
or shrunk if it isn’t the right size.

The Accordion is written using an extender like most of the other extenders in the
AJAX Control Toolkit. The extender expects its input in a very specific hierarchy
of container elements (like divs), so the Accordion and AccordionPane web controls
are used to generate the expected input for the extender. The extender can also
be used on its own if you provide it appropriate input. The Accordion can also be
databound. Simply specify a data source through the DataSource or DataSourceID properties
and then set your data items in the HeaderTemplate and ContentTemplate properties.
