Web Forms :: Set The MasterPageFile Of A MasterPage?
Jan 21, 2011
I have a Page (index.aspx) that inherits from MasterPage (Index.Master) that inherits from another MasterPage (/template1/Website.Master). I want to be able to set the masterpagefile of Index.Master to /template2/Website.Master programmatically.
My index.aspx is basically a placeholder file (I have multiple directories with the same placeholder files, and I don't want to have to update every folder if i make a change to 1 file). All the website content is located in Index.Master. The layout of the website is in Website.Master. I want to be able to change the layout based on a selection stored in a local xml file in each of the folders.
I understand I can change the Page PreInit on the aspx page easy enough, but I don't want to change that. It has to link to the index.master.
Index.Master doesn't have a PreInit because it's a masterpage, not a page...
I'm trying to use a master page in my website. I created a page and then created the master. I then added the tag MasterPageFile="~/master". I'm guessing that I need to do something to my main page, because I've now started getting the error:
The page contains markup that is not valid when attached to a master page
with my master pages. They have such inheritance order:MainMaster1.Master can be nested by Nested1.Master, Nested2.Master, etc. At the same time MainMaster can be duplicated and have working copies like MainMaster2, MainMaster3, etc.Advise please how can I dynamically change the MasterPageFile of my Nested1, Nested2, etc. pages so that they can easily switch between MainMasters if needed?
I am working with a third party asp.net application that uses master pages and nested master pages. My needs are to dynamically set the master page files for each page(.aspx). The application by default sets the master page file in the strongly typed @Page directive for each page. I don't want to change the strongly typed directive on each page (over 50 pages) because I am lazy and I want to minimize conflicts with future upgrades.
Why is @MasterType even needed? Couldn't the compiler automatically take the same actions based solely on @Page masterPageFile? When would you not want to use both?
I have a MasterPage (MasterPage.master) with 2 child MasterPages (specialMaster.master and standardMaster.master). From the MasterPage.master I need to get at some of the controls in one of the children, specialMaster.master, say for example to hide certain content if a session variable is not null.
I have 2 masterpages. (Default.master and User.master).I have a hidden field in Default.master then how can i get the hidden field value of Default.master file from User.master.is there any way to access that hidden field like: Request.form("hidID") ?
i'm trying to create a web-application in visual-studio 2010. i have a visual-studio-solution, and some projects; now i want to create one MasterPage - and compile this masterPage in a dll-class-library. my problem is to use this masterPage in the aspx-files. create a correct class-lib.-project with the MasterPage, and to use this MasterPage in the different projects and aspx-sites?
I had a problem with my website caused by using a masterpage built with a previous version of Visual Web Developer. So I created a new masterpage and renamed it to the same as the old one. It works locally but when I upload onto the host site I get the following error message: error ASPNET: Make sure that the class defined in this code file matches the 'inherits' attribute, and that it extends the correct base class (e.g. Page or UserControl).How do I get it to also work on the host site?
I want to do a standard 3 column website I download the code below from msdn Works like charm as a page on its own Then I make it a masterpage and hell just breaks loose!I create an other page and bind it to the masterpage and I only get one column!!!!What do I need to do to get it to work properly?
I have a MasterPage set up with a div that has a border.
The ContentPlaceHolder is within this div.
My question is when I inherit this masterpage and place the content within the assigned area it sometimes overrun the div settings
which were done on the masterpage and displays over then masterpage div.
Is it possible to set the masterpage div to auto detect overspill of the content or can I set the size of the div on each page(even though its a masterpage div)?
I use a masterpages with 3 buttons at the end of the file because al these buttons must be displayed in all content pages. Now I want to call the button_click event in all content pages because the event will be different for each contentpage. My question: How can I call events from controls in the masterpages, in the contentpage?
Masterpage contains submenus but they are not visible in IE8. Worked in IE6, Firefox, not so elegant in Safari. I thought ASP.NET was supposed to be browser independent?
I've got a number of MasterPages with ContentPlaceHolders. I do not know how much Placeholders are on the MasterPage. Now i want to load Content to the PlaceHolder, id the ContentPlaceHolder exists. When i use the this.Master.FindControl the MasterPage renders and the added Content would not be rendered. See: [URL] Soo I tried two posibilities of adding the content:
[Code]....
Second way:
[Code]....
The first way seems to be the faster way. But which is the "better" way? Would any of this make any problems?
i want my main index page to be a login page with a logo, n then redirect to my master page when authenticated.how do i accomplish this? isit possible?
I have a function called Public Shared Function get_userDB() As String in my MastePage.master.vb file that i would like to access from my users page that is connected to the master page.
I have tried with: me.master.get_userDB()
But that won't work. It says that my function is not a member of my masterpage. What im i doing wrong?
Is there any simple method to pass viewdata to masterpage. For example, I create a viewdata["test"] in the testing controller. I pass it to masterpage so the masterpage can show this value.Is there any simple method to do it? Can I use session to do it and how?
