MVC :: Using Menus In Master Pages?
Jul 27, 2010
My web site will have lots of pages, too many to provide links for in the menu as shown in the form of the wizard-generated menu. One solution I'm investigating is to have a main menu where each item will pop up a submenu, like in a Windows app.
Can I use a "Menu" control in a master page to do a pop up menu? If so can you point me to an example or show me (a novice) how to do it? I.e., each item will have a controller action, so how do I connect the menu item to the action method?

I want to create a master page for my already developed project. Since the project contains many forms it is quite difficult to include the master page in each form. Is there any possibilities to include the master page in any other simplest way

How to make menus on the header of master page in asp.net ...

I'm currently writing a web app in ASP.NET MVC 1.0 (although I do have MVC 2.0 installed on my PC, so I'm not exactly restricted to 1.0) -- I've started with the standard MVC project which has your basic "Welcome to ASP.NET MVC" and shows both the [Home] tab and [About] tab in the upper-right corner. Pretty standard, right? I've added 4 new Controller classes, let's call them "Astronomer", "Biologist", "Chemist", and "Physicist". Attached to each new controller class is the [Authorize] attribute. For example, for the BiologistController.cs
[Authorize(Roles = "Biologist,Admin")]
public class BiologistController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index() { return View(); }
}
These [Authorize] tags naturally limit which user can access different controllers depending on Roles, but I want to dynamically build a Menu at the top of my website in the Site.Master Page based on the Roles the user is a part of. So for example, if "JoeUser" was a member of Roles "Astronomer" and "Physicist", the navigation menu would say:
[Home] [Astronomer] [Physicist]
[About]
And naturally, it would not list links to "Biologist" or "Chemist" controller Index page. Or if "JohnAdmin" was a member of Role "Admin", links to all 4 controllers would show up in the navigation bar. Ok, you prolly get the idea... Now for the real question... Starting with the answer from this StackOverflow topic about Dynamic Menu building in ASP.NET, I'm trying to understand how I would fully implement this. (I'm a newbie and need a little more guidance, so please bare with me.) The answer proposes Extending the Controller class (call it "ExtController") and then have each new WhateverController inherit from ExtController.
My conclusion is that I would need to use Reflection in this ExtController Constructor to determine which Classes and Methods have [Authorize] attributes attached to them to determine the Roles. Then using a Static Dictionary, store the Roles and Controllers/Methods in key-value pairs. I imagine it something like this:
public class ExtController : Controller
{
protected static Dictionary<Type,List<string>> ControllerRolesDictionary;
protected override void OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext filterContext)
{
// build list of menu items based on user's permissions, and add it to ViewData
IEnumerable<MenuItem> menu = BuildMenu();
ViewData["Menu"] = menu;
}
private IEnumerable<MenuItem> BuildMenu()
{
// Code to build a menu
SomeRoleProvider rp = new SomeRoleProvider();
foreach (var role in rp.GetRolesForUser(HttpContext.User.Identity.Name))
{
}
}
public ExtController()
{
// Use this.GetType() to determine if this Controller is already in the Dictionary
if (!ControllerRolesDictionary.ContainsKey(this.GetType()))
{
// If not, use Reflection to add List of Roles to Dictionary
// associating with Controller
}
}
}
Is this doable? If so, how do I perform Reflection in the ExtController constructor to discover the [Authorize] attribute and related Roles (if any) ALSO! Feel free to go out-of-scope on this question and suggest an alternate way of solving this "Dynamic Site.Master Menu based on Roles" problem. I'm the first to admit that this may not be the best approach.

Currently I'm doing common functionality required throughout my site inside of my masterpage. What I want to do is move this functionality to a BaseClass so All my pages inherit from the Base Class. However, I'm not sure how to set this up interms of c# code with regards to Using a Base Class and then having a masterpage applied to my aspx pages that i create.

How do you implement SquishIt to bundle Css/Js across View Pages and Render it in the Master page? I thought I could use a ContentPlaceHolder above the Render portion, but there seems to be some odd behavior where it sometimes adds 3 files (1 in the view page and 2 in the master page) but other times will ignore the file added from the View Page.
Index.aspx
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="CssFiles" runat="server">
<% CssHelper.Add("home.css"); %>
</asp:Content>
Site.master
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="CssFiles" runat="server" />
<% CssHelper.Add("reset.css"); %>
<% CssHelper.Add("master.css"); %>
<%=CssHelper.Render() %>
My current solution is a Static wrapper around SquishIt's static Bundle class that keeps the BundleBuilder in HttpContext.Current.Items.
I'm curious if this has been done successfully and how so.

Is it possible with ASP.NET Master Pages to create content pages dynamically?That is, I know we can create content dynamically, but the content pages themselves,can those be created programmatically? I want to give my users the ability to define new content pages (i.e. Categories: Sofas, Tables, Lamps, and add/delete as they see fit) through a management panel. The resulting content pages should have proper URL naming, so that they index properly.An example: http://www.example.com/products/Lamps/contentpage.aspx.Is there a demonstration of this somewhere I can view?

I have over 300 content pages to create. Each has some standard styling. I would like to generate these pages, and was just wondering if there is a utility in web developer 2008 express to do so (otherwise I will just build one - but it would be great not having to do so!)

I have a master page setup that is used throughout my site that is basically a header with a menu. I recently added a textbox and a button to this master page which is to be a quick search box that is available anywhere in the site. When a user enters text into the search box and hits the button, I need to load the actual content page which is used to search and show search results (which also uses this same master page), and have the text entered available so the search can be triggered automatically. Again, this search text box and button is now in my master page so it could be triggered from anywhere in the app... it serves as a convenient way to do a basic search from anywhere in my app, without having to first navigate to the actual 'search page' that already exists. You can also navigate to the actual search page, which uses the same master page, where there is many more search options.I'm thrown off by the master page arrangement, which I have not used until this project. What do I do?

I have a main master page, say MasterPageMain, and a couple of folders with couple of pages in each folder which act as a child page to that master page - MasterPageMain.
Now, I have about 10 pages in one of the folder which follows a certain pattern and they could really use a nested pages since any change on some parts needs me to change all the pages which is a pain really.
I already added a Nested master page, say NestedMasterPage - which is a child of MasterPageMain
I tried to change one of the page's <%@ Page directive to NestedMasterPage, immediately, there were a lot of errors. plus I dint know where the NestedMasterPage's children content would go.
What do I need to know in order to do this succesfully?
ps: I dint do this initially because I only had 2 pages, and I dint need this at that time, as the project grew, now i see that I should have changed it much earlier..

Using MVC 2 for what it matter. (And also keep in mind for some reason I NEVER used Nested Master Pages)
I got a single Master page that work across my site.
However, I found from the design now, that each "Area" have a different subnavigation.
Figured it might finally be a reason to use Nested Master Pages....resulting into a lot of swearing over here...
What I did:Add a "Nested Master Page" to the "Shared" folder of a specific Area
(project/Areas/xxxx/Views/Shared/NestedMasterPage.Master)VS bring up a box asking to specify a Master Page, and I select the only one i have (project/Views/Shared/Site.Master)Leave it as is, I add a new View and for it's Master Page I browse to the new Nested Master Page.When I click Add, the following Error comes up:"The ContentPlaceHolder 'MainContent' doesn't exists in the Master page '~/Areas/xxx/Views/Shared/NestedMasterPage.master'. Please choose a valid ID for this Master Page.Bit buffled..the code for the nested master look like this:[Code]....
'MainContent' right there, or what is VS talking about?

I'm following this example: [URL]
And I can get it to work with just a single page and a code behind, but when I add a masterpage, the examples doesn't work properly. Within my master page, I have a head content section and a body content section. It's nothing fancy.
How do i do client callbacks with master pages?
