trying to configure master page for my project in visual studio 2008 and all the tutorials i have found none seem so resourceful if any one has a good site, article, or a video tutorial that can help me out i appreciate a lot.
View 4 RepliesWe run a PHP-website through IIS v6.0 (windows server 2003). The site was configured by an ex-collegue. Now I have to add a couple of existing
ASP-pages to the site. I have tried this, but it won't work. When calling an ASP page in Internet Explorer, we get the following message : "The page cannot be found". However, if I rename the asp-pages to php, it does work fine, but this is not the way I want it to work (I like to keep the asp pages, to be sure they work well). Can one configure IIS so ASP pages can run aside our existing PHP-pages ?
i'm developing a site using VS2010 and with my windows vista busniness OS. i used the default VS2010 wizard for new web application to create it. included a folder in the root directory and created new aspx pages to derive from the master page in the root directory of my site. everything shows on the new pages except the jpeg image logo in the master page. But other aspx pages i created in the root directory shows every thing fine.
View 1 RepliesCurrently 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?
View 4 RepliesI got a Master page and nested master pages in the subfolders.
Top Level Master page
Second Level Master page inherited Top Level Master page
Third Level Master page inherited Second Level Master page
However, changes (i.e. new images & alt. name) that I made in the Top level master page did not apply to the second or third levels.My webpage has a correct front page but not in the sections. How can i correct this ?
what is difference between Master page and Master Pages in ASP.Net. Is both are same or different.
View 3 RepliesI 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!)
View 1 RepliesI 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?
View 4 RepliesI 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..
I want to know what is the census out there on Master pages? Like using them? Hate using them? Pros and cons.
View 1 RepliesHow do I include CSS reference in only certain pages on my asp.net website? If I include the reference in my master page, all pages of the website share the CSS reference.
View 2 RepliesUsing 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?
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?
Is there a way to assign pages created from a master page with their own meta tags? I know that some search engines don't weight meta tags very highly, but I still would like to use them if possible.
View 3 RepliesI'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?
I have spent time learning coding using master pages in inline styles and my sites are functional but look lousy. Now I am turning to learning CSS and to make my sites look more professional.
I wanted to try to convert my sites to using CSS. So I ask the question which is better option?
Also does anyone who develops in a corporation know if Master pages are use much?
I've successfully made JQuery work with Master Pages, but not JQuery UI.My header in the master page looks like this:
<head runat="server">
<title>Analytics</title>
<link href="~/css/PageElements.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" runat="server"/>
<link href="~/css/FormElements.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" runat="server"/>
<link href="~/css/Buttons.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" runat="server"/>
<link href="<%# ResolveUrl("~/css/smoothness/jquery-ui-1.8.9.custom.css") %>" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%# ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/jquery-1.4.4.min.js") %>" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%# ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.8.9.custom.min.js") %>" />
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.noConflict(); <%--This should avoid conflicts Ajax Control Toolkit--%>
</script>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="HeaderPlaceHolder" runat="server" />
</head>
And in the content page, I created a VERY simple script to load the Date Picker, as per JQuery UI demo page. I always get a 'Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support this property or method'. Here's my content page:
<asp:Content ID="MainContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainPlaceHolder" runat="server">
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
jQuery('#<%=btnSubmit.ClientID %>').click(function () {
alert("Hello world!");
});
});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function () {
jQuery('#<%=datepicker.ClientID %>').datepicker();
});
</script>
<div class="demo">
<p>Date: <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="datepicker" /></p>
</div>
<asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" Text="Submit" />
</asp:Content>
The CSS folder is in place, and pure JQuery calls work. This simple datepicker is not working with this master page / content setup. I've tried many combinations for the datepicker ID, using ClientID (as is), UniqueID, [id$=datepicker], etc. Can someone shed a light on this? What am I missing?
I have been trying to implement the following jquery lightbox sample in master pages [URL]. I can not get this to work. I keep getting property not valid error. I can get it to work in a web page, which is not part of a master page.
View 1 RepliesYou fetch the user's IP address and based on his/her country you redirect the user to a specific webpage. Now, how do you change the master page dynamically? This is how I am redirecting the user :-
Geolocation Error with IP Address 127.0.0.1
It's not like the user clicks some button or something and you then change the master page. I want it changed when the user is redirected, so how exactly do I go about it?
public partial class testClass: System.Web.UI.MasterPage
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (redirected to site1)
{
Use this master page1
}
else
if (redirected to site2)
{
Use this master page2
}
}
}
So how do I check what SITE the user has been redirected to? Also HOW to apply the specific master page now that the user has been redirected?
I just need an idea how to go about it.
[EDIT] please check the code block below. How do I fetch the URL that the user has been redirected to? I actually need just the "iso3166TwoLetterCode" variable's value (see the link to my earlier question, please) and based on that will be changing the master page. I can't figure out how to fetch that value or even use that class (that's got this variable) in my testClass.
protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (user Has been redirected to www.site.in )
{
this.MasterPageFile = "master1.master";
}
if (user Has been redirected to www.site.fr )
{
this.MasterPageFile = "master2.master";
}
}
Can we have the Masterpage loaded dynamicallu. I have a page that must be used in 2 different scenarios ie., using two different master pages.
View 2 RepliesI have been working on a fun little project just to build my skills as an ASP.Net developer. I have learned quite a bit thus far, and don't normally post questions in forums. Google and the books I own generally do the trick for me. But for this question I would like some community input.
I am developing a simple blog platform in ASP.Net / C#. Eventually I hope it will basically be a clone of how Wordpress works. Again, this is mostly a learning project for myself and I realize there are many projects out there doing what I am doing in .Net.
Anyways, the question I want some input on is whether I should use themes or master pages to customize the look and feel of the site. As I understand it, a theme mostly just changes colors and such, but CAN do much more. Whereas a master page can easily change the look and feel of an entire site.
What are the pro's and con's of either route, and what would y'all recommend? I'm not really looking for code examples here, just input on what y'all would think is the best route to pursue.
