Web Forms :: Master Pages - How To Access Content Page From Master Page
Sep 5, 2010
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?
Today I got a strange problem,that is I am unable to access master page controls in its code behind,I am wonder because,I can able to access master page controls in their code behind of other projects/applications's master pages.
I know we can acess like this Label lblText = (Label)this.FindControl("lbluserName"); in that situation but I need to access div controls which are set to run at server.
My project has the following repeater menu shown on the Master Page. I need this menu to remain hidden until the user logs in. How do I access from content page?
How to I put this form on my page? The problem is I have a master page which wraps the content pages content in the ASP.net form, I can't nest the forms.
I have some of the methods in the master page,I want to inherit the master page to content page and use its methods...How will be able to do that..Do we have some techniques with inheritence?Please specify the techniques andPlease in C# with Code Behind...
How to access a control declared in a Master Page in a content page.I have a ModalPopUpExtender in Master Page and i want to access it from a content page, how can i do that.
I created one method in master page, I want to use that method in some other page(Child or Content page).I tried this method but No luck, it's not working in Master Page:
public partial class TestMaster : System.Web.UI.MasterPage { public void XXXX() { } }
it is very easy to access master page control from content page like
[code]....
but how could i access controls of content page from master page. suppose a textbox there in content page and one button is there in master page. i want that when i will click on master page button then i want to show the text of textbox in the content page in the label of master page. how to achieve it.
Does any know why I can't access the my custom user control StatusBar which is declared inside a masterPage?
In the ContentPage, I tried referencing the control this way "this.Site.stastusBar" and "this.Master.Status" and neither one works. Both instellisense warns me that "statusBar" does not exist.
on master page, i have declared a label control & set value to it.now on content page, i m able to find the control, but the value is alwasy null & not the one which was set.when i debugged, content page's load event is called first, after that the master page is called.so where should i access the master page control so that i get the set value.
I have 2 nested master pages, lets call them MP1 and MP2. MP1 is top level, MP2 is level
2. Then I have several content pages. Lets say I have 2 content pages for now CP1 and CP2. Each content page has a form that will have some user input and a SaveData()function that saves the data to a database. Each content page also has a "Save" button that calls the SaveData() function.
MP1 and MP2 have several link buttons. The functionality I need is this: Any time a user clicks on a link button in MP1 or MP2, the SaveData() function of the currently loaded page should be called. This is to save the data even if the user forgets to click the "Save" button before leaving the page.
So far I can do this from the link buttons in MP2. I followed the master pages tutorial # 7
In the .cs file for MP2, I declare:
public event EventHandler SaveData;
then i raise a "SaveData" event any time a link button in MP2 is clicked.in every content page (CP1, CP2 etc.) aspx file, I have Master Type directive to assign the Master Page to MP2.
in CP1, CP2 etc .cs file, i have the following code: protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e) { //wire up the SaveData event from MP2 to Master_SaveData function in this page. Master.SaveData += new EventHandler(Master_SaveData); } private void Master_SaveData(object sender, EventArgs e) { //when the MP2 SaveData event is raised, save the data in this page. SaveData(); }
All of this works fine.Problem is I am not able to do a similar thing from MP1.What I have tried so far is to raise an event in MP1 that is handled in MP2. When the event is handled in MP2, it raises the SaveData event to be handled in the page. The event in MP1 is null and hence never raised.
how can i add title and meta tags for content pages in a project base on master and content page(dinamically) ?
i used the blow method for master page :
[code]....
and the error is :(in line *)
Error 17 'System.Web.UI.MasterPage' does not contain a definition for 'SetMetaTags' and no extension method 'SetMetaTags' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.UI.MasterPage' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I have an asp.net content page which is used inside of a master page (with header, menu and some links). I would like to reuse it in a different context without the master page (to not display the header and menu there), or with an empty master page if this is somehow possible. I don't want to violate DRY principle by taking the whole page and creating a standalone clone of it for obvious reasons. Is this somehow possible ?
All I want to do is access the <body> element from the code-behind of a content page and add a class name to it.
I have a top-level master page with the <body> element in it. Then I have a nested master page which is the master page for the content page. From the code behind of the content page I want to add a class name to the body element. That's all.
I have this in the top-level master:
<body id="bodyNode" runat="server">
I added this to the code-behind for the content page:
I looked at your example URL....I have ScriptManager in masterpage how call  ScriptManager from masterpage in editorPage.aspx if (Script Manager 1.IsInAsyncPostBack)
