Master Pages - public properties

[Guest]

Hello I am having trouble accessing a public porperty that my master page
exposes
I try to access it in a content page but the property is not visible through
intell sense.

Master Page
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

string m_PageHeadingTitle = "My Company";

public string PageHeadingTitle
{
get
{
return m_PageHeadingTitle;
}
set
{
m_PageHeadingTitle = value;
}
}

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Conent Page

Master.PageHeadingTitle = "Test Page title";

Hi,

Thank you for posting!

You need to use the MasterType directive in your content page to create a
strongly typed reference to the ASP.NET master page when the master page is
accessed from the Master property. Here's a sample usage:

<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/MasterPage.master" %>

Thanks Walter
I get a error when trying to introduce this directive

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterType VirtualPath="~/MasterPage.master"
MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="true"
CodeFile="Content01.aspx.cs" Inherits="Content01" Title="Untitled Page"
Theme="Summer" %>


"Master type is not a valid attribute of element page"

Hi,

This is a directive just like the Page directive, so you need to put it in
a separate <%@ %> pair:

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master"
AutoEventWireup="true"
CodeFile="Content01.aspx.cs" Inherits="Content01" Title="Untitled Page"
Theme="Summer" %>
<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/MasterPage.master" %>

If there is anything unclear, please feel free to post here.

Gee I hope this guy WayDownUnder you misled comes back to read these
comments Walter. Why didn't you tell him he didn't need to write properties
to access the Page title?

// In Page_Load this is all that is needed...
Page.Title = "Whatever";

There's also some clever developers who have documented how to use the
SiteMap file as the meta data for the Page.Title property which is already
public.

ClintonG,
The post was a wee bit misleading. It wasnt the page title I was really
interested in ,
I just used that as an example. It was accessing public properties in
general that I wanted to know about.
Thanks
