Search Pages And User Controls To See Which Master Page And Base Class They Use
Feb 12, 2010
I want to search my asp.net pages and user controls to see which master page and base class they use. I mention search because we are re-factoring a large project and we need to track progress on the code conversion. I know I can pull this information individually but I need a automated and repeatable procedure.
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.
I have a base class called BasePage, and a master page called SiteMaster. All my content pages inherit BasePage using BasePage instead of System.Web.UI.Page. Now, I need to access some functions in BasePage from my master page SiteMaster, let's say, the function is called "DisplayClientName()". How can I do it? Searched the Web, have found tons of similar questions but not solid solutions.
I am feeling that I have terribly wrong somewhere. I was working on a small asp.net app. I have some dynamic themes in the heme folder and have implemented a page base class to load the master page on the fly. The master is having the ContentPlaceHolder like: <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="cphBody" runat="server" />
Now I am adding pages that are derived from my base class and added the form elements. I know, Visual Studio has problem showing the page in the design mode. I have a dropdown box and wish to add the event of onselectedindexchange. But it is not working. the page is like this:
I am attempting to access a textbox control on a master page from a code behind base class but having problems. I have 3 levels of master pages. m1.master is the master page for m2.master which is the master page for m3.master.m3.master has a textbox as shown below
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 master page. In this master, I have all my css and javascript files defined. I also have a few images and a few buttons and hyperlinks.All the urls are all declared as relative ie "/scripts/ian.js"Everything works fine if this site is the root website, but I need it to work in a virtual directory.My problem is when I place this website in a virtual directory under a root site, all my links are pointing to the root site. so my links point to www.root.com/scripts/ian.js but it should be pointing to www.root.com/virtualDir/scripts/ian.jsI thought the Base Href tag in the header would help, but so far it does not seem to be helping in anyway. All the links are still pointing to the root website when i hover over them.
Do we have to do something special to have ASP.NET partial classes aware of controls that are declared in our user control's base classes? The partial classes keep generating declarations for controls in the base class which mean the controls in the base class get hidden and are null.
I've got a web site that has a master page and that master page (mpMaster that has a user control ucControl1) which has a sub user control (ucControl2), this user control has a property which accepts a value. Now, I have a page that uses the master page and on this page I have another user control (ucPageControl), I need to find a way of setting the value in ucControl2 from ucPageControl. Is this possible at all?
I have a user control (uc1) which inherits from uc2. uc2 has a user control (uc3) declared in the markup. I am trying to access uc3 from uc1 but I get NullReferenceException. I thought due to inheritance uc3 would instantiate but looks like I am missing a step.
Clarification:
How does the child user control inherit the markup from the base class? The server controls in the base user control are null in the code behind of the base user control. Why?
I am new in asp .net.I am not able to undestand why we call base class method when we override methods/events.Like automatically visual studio will put base.OnInit() if you are overriding OnInit.
I have taken over an application where the original developer has used an inordinate amount of user controls and master pages. There are multiple master pages all over the site, with user controls on top of user controls through out the site as well. Some of the user controls are reused, many are not. Would you deem this an efficient or worthy use of user controls and master pages? From my point of view it clutters the project and makes debugging a real chore.
I have a C# website developed with Visual Studio 2008 with a SQL backend. I have a top Navigation menu that has seven different tabs. I have a specific right bar content for each of the seven tabs. The content for the right bar is stored in a sql database and will be accessed using data sets. I believe that I have two ways to display the information with the data set...
1. User control - Create a User Control for each data set and then drop that on to the respective pages.
2. Master Pages - Create a Master Page for each of my seven sections, adding the data set to the respective Master Page.
Is there a preffered approach to achieve my goal? I am thinking Master Pages would be the most efficient but not certain. Is there another method I should consider?
I am using a <a href=[URL], an open source e-commerce platform, for one of my projects, and I noticed that they use Master Pages as well as user controls. When I looked some of this up, some people made it appear as if Master Pages were intended to replace user controls. Is this true? In my opinion, if I were to start an ASP.NET app from scratch, I would think a Master Page would be enough, but I guess user controls could be utilized.
I have the following PerformanceFactsheet.aspx.cs page class
public partial class PerformanceFactsheet : FactsheetBase protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) // do stuff with the data extracted in FactsheetBase divPerformance.Controls.Add(this.Data); where FactsheetBase is defined as public class FactsheetBase : System.Web.UI.Page [code]...
I've tried setting the <pages pageBaseType="DynamicWebPage" /> value in web.config, but when I response.write out the page type, I'm still getting Microsoft.WebPages.WebPage.
I'm simply trying to sub-class WebPage and add some additional functionality such as a dynamic PageData dictionary similar to Phil Haack's dynamic ViewData dictionary.
it's possible to put the database connection settings into a base page class so that I can auto-init them on a page. like this document: [URL] but with instructions in VB.net
I have the below structure. Admin_note --> AdminBasePage --> System.Web.UI.Page.But Page_Load does not call in AdminBasePage when calling page_load in Admin_note class.Do you know how to solve??
I have a custom basepage and a master page in my web application. In my master page, there are events that I run from each page in my web application. Instead of putting the code in each of my pages, I decided to create a base page that each web page will inherit from. Trouble is, I cannot get the base page to invoke the events on the master page.
I'm trying to use a MasterType TypeName to access a class with master pages. This works when I'm using .NET 2.0, VS 2005, and C#. When I try this using .NET 3.5, VS 2008 and C# I get the error:
The type or namespace name 'classA' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) and it is pointing to the Default.aspx.designer.cs
In the default.aspx I have:
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="...
<%@ MasterType TypeName="classA" %>
I have added a folder App_Code to my project and in that folder I have a class file "classA.cs" that contains:
Using ...
Namespace Project.App_Code
{ public class classA : System.Web.UI.MasterPage
...
The main difference that I see from where it works and where it doesn't work is that where it doesn't work it uses the namespace called Project.So I figure my problem is in the including the class classA in the namespace or properly including the namespace and / or App_Code directory in the MasterType TypeName which I don't seem to be able to figure out.
