Does anyone know how to read the page title the executing page, using
ASP.NET? I thought that this could be accessed using the Controls
collection, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks!

unless you put runat=server on the title tag in the html, it will be inside
one the literals in the page controls collection.

Ok, any idea of how to access this?

You have to use:

<head>
<title runat="server" id="myTitle">Page title</title>
</head>

Then in your code you can access myTitle.InnerText to get the text.

If a given page doesn't have a <title> with runat="server", then there is no
way to retrieve the page title (if there is one).
 
But that won't work on static .htm files. I also need to access the meta
tags (since my site template .ascx file is generating the <head> element).
Ideas?

You can't do it.
 
So, I can't parse the tags (or controls) of the page that is executing and
retrieve values?

No. On the server side, you have access only to server-side controls. These
are the controls marked with runat="server".
