Hi Everybody!


I'm stuck with the following problem:

I have a couple of pages which has all the same 'header', i.e. some common
elements. So far I realized that the best thing would be to use master
pages. This is all fine and works.

Now, there are certain variables stored in the session object which I would
like to use in the other pages. What I would like to do is to initialize the
variables, assign values to them in the Page_Load of the MasterPage and then
use in the other pages (outside the masterpage, i.e., in the pages which use
the MasterPage). Is there any smart way to do this?



Thank you very much in advance,



Thiery

You just described a "smart way". - Try and see how it works.

Sure, creating public properties on your master page, and use the MasterType
directive.

So in your page, if you do:

<%@ masterType VirtualPath="~/template/main.master" %>

you can then access your master's properties in a strongly-typed fashion in
your page

int userId = Master.UserId;

Karl

ur master would look soemthing like:

private int _userId;
public int UserId
{
get { return _userId; }
}

Page_Load(...)
{
_userId = (int)Session["userId"];
}
