Is there a way to manipulate the <TITLE> in the csharp code?

The "<TITLE>" of what? Since "<TITLE>" by itself isn't valid C# syntax, you
must be using that to refer to something else. To what are you referring?

If you are talking about the text displayed in the title bar of the form,
then all you have to do is set the "Text" property of the form instance. If
you're talking about something else, you need to be more specific about what
it is you want to do.

<TITLE> is html markup for the title element in aspx (or basically, html).
There is no direct way of accessing the title element from the code-behind,
and was kinda buggy using the workarounds provided on the net (such as
giving the Title id and runat attributes). What you can do (and what we
have done) is put server side script inside the <title> block, such as the
following:

<title><%=this.PageTitle%></title>

Inside your page (or base classes that your page inherits from) is provide
the PageTitle property that the server-side script is accessing.

Mythran,
Can you also send me some sample C# code on how to do this?

Are there any special "using System...." I need to add

Thanks for your help.
 
Hi Mythran,

In VS 2005 you can set a page's title in code using the Title property of the
Page object.

The property requires that a header control is present on the page, which is
added by VS 2005 when a new web page is created in the IDE. If you need to
add one yourself here is the basic html:

<html>
<head runat="server"></head> <!-- required by Title property -->
<body>...</body>
</html>

That's sweet Dave. Although, in Visual Studio .Net 2003 and below, adding a
runat="server" on the title attribute, as stated, will be removed by the IDE
intermitantly. It's nice that it works in .Net 2k5 now ... if it does
indeed work that way :)

Just wondering, what kind of problems did you get setting

<title runat="server" id="pageTitle">Default title</title>

and accessing the control in the code-behind? It works pretty well for me.

You may want to check Dave Sexton's reply...but to do it using the way I
presented (if you are using < .Net 2k5):

public class MyPage : Page
{
// ...
public string PageTitle
{
get { return "Some title"; }
}
// ...
}

In < .Net 2k5, the ide removes the runat and id attributes, intermitantly...

In ASP.NET 2.0, the Page class has a Title property. That's about all you
need to know. For ASP.NET 1.1, you would need to make it a runat=Server tag
so that you can access it from the codebehind.

This is really an asp.net group topic though, not a c# language issue.

Interesting. We used that in our ASP.NET 1.1 application, never had any
problem with it. Did you use the HTML designer?

Hi,
Yup. That's the part of the ide that removes the attributes from the
title element.

OK, everything is clear now. The designer in 1.1 was so messed up that
we explicitly forbade our developers to use it.
