Asp Master / Content Page Interaction With Style Sheet
May 5, 2010
Learning how to do a master page in asp.net. Trying to figure out how my style sheet interacts with respects to the master page and content page. I can get HTML tags like body and the style sheet to react. But when I call the ID attribute of a label no styling takes place. What am I missing here as far as interaction? BTW I'm using VS2008
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.
I have got two pages - a master pages (Master1) and an .aspx page (default), with the content page attached to the master page.
However, I have run into a problem
I have some data controls like drop down boxes and textboxes in the master page, with a gridview of data in the content page. What I want to achieve is a situation where when a user searches for an item using the texbox in the master page, the gridview in the content page displays the results of that search parameter made.
I would like to programmatically access a div in a style sheet for my master page and change its height value depending on the content page loaded.
Can this be done using Javascript in the Master page or in the code behind for the respective page? What I would like is something such as this if possible
When this content page loads, change the height value of this div in the css file
I don't want to use separate Master pages as this seems to defeat the whole purpose of the Master page
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?
Can I ask what this error refers to, (I have had it twice now over the last couple of days and then it goes away):
System.Web.HttpException: Content controls are allowed only in content page that references a master page.
This is followed by Stack Trace:
[HttpException (0x80004005): Content controls are allowed only in content page that references a master page.] System.Web.UI.MasterPage.CreateMaster(TemplateControl owner, HttpContext context, VirtualPath masterPageFile, IDictionary contentTemplateCollection) +9744256 System.Web.UI.Page.get_Master() +55 System.Web.UI.Page.ApplyMasterPage() +14 System.Web.UI.Page.PerformPreInit() +51 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +1104
I am not using any Content Place Holder or Master Page (does the error refer to the Site.Master file because while I can see it in. Solution Explorer, I never use it. All of my aspx files look like this along the top with no reference to Site.Master:
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?
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.
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 am using a master page in my application. i added a content page by right clicking the content place holder in the master page. I get an issue "could not load type" but when i manully changed the masterpagefile attribute it worked fine. But in the content page all the style in my master page is lost,
I had created a master page, which uses a style element in the header section. It seems that when I create a style element in the content page the style from the master is disgarded.So my question is, how can i have a css style specific to the master page carried over into content pages and how can I have content page specific css style at the same time?
I deleted my massenger history files xml and i could recover them full size but when i open then i get this error massage :The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later. An invalid character was found in text content.Error processing resource 'file:///H:/Hesham/
I am using the style sheets for the gridview from this link
[URL]
It has various style sheet attached to the same gridview. What I want to attach the style sheet from server side to the page when user select the drop down list item
I am having asp:hyperlinks in my master page, which i use as my page headers. I would just like to change the text format of the hyperlink when a content page is loaded.
the CS code for accessing the master page contents from content page?
I have a 3 level nested master pages and a content page. parent1 is the top parent, parent2 is parent of parent3 and parent3 is the parent of the content page.
I get an error 'Cannot find ContentPlaceHolder xxx...' where xxx is a ContentPlaceholder. It resides in parent2 and content page is trying to fill it.
Can content pages only use their direct parent ContentPlaceHolders or can they also use any of the higher master pages?
Started checking out VS2010 Express. I have it installed on my home laptop and my work PC. This "problem" occurs on both systems. In past versions of VS I thought I was able to add style sheets to a theme by right-clicking on the theme folder, selecting "New Item...", then clicking the Style Sheet item. In VS2010 Express, Style Sheet is not present as an option. Only Skin, XML, and XSLT are present.
Is there a way to add Style Sheet to the list of selectable items? My current workaround is to create a style sheet outside of the theme folder, then drag it into the theme folder.
The reason i am asking I have a list of a few products that may or may not change once a month, and instead of saving all the variables and diffrent things in a sql table I can just update/delete them in a css sheet.
I know I can probably copy and past it in and out of the .aspx page but it just seems so 'un-neat' to have lots of text in the HTML tags.
I am new to Asp.net and i saw many tutorials talking about css and Html and Xml Style sheet so please can anyone tell me what is the difference between those 3 Languages and what they are used for ? Also i want to know if we need to know HTML since when i was training on visual studio i saw that it is automatically generated when we add a control from the tool box .
