What happened to Master.Page.Header.MetaData ?

[Alan Silver]

Hello,

I downloaded and registered VWD Express from the MS site, and this gave
me a free download of a book called "Build A Web Site Now!", which is a
(very light) introduction to VWD.

In the chapter on master pages, it says that adding meta data to a page
is done by...

Master.Page.Header.MetaData.Add("keywords", "ferrets, gibbons");

which is supposed to add...

<meta name="keywords" content="ferrets, gibbons">

to the page header.

It didn't work, and when I checked the docs, it seems there's no such
thing as MetaData in Header.

Anyone know what happened here? Is there another way that's equally
simple of adding meta data to the page header?

TIA

Juan,

Thanks for those. I saw this longer method first, and thought it looked
a bit long-winded. I was all excited when I saw the short version in the
MS book. It's a shame they took it out.

It's also a shame that a brand new book that MS is pushing (and giving
away free to people who download VWD) includes out-of-date info.

Thanks for the reply

Thanks, but I've got the current docs. I've bookmarked msdn2, and VWD
comes with docs. I was more wondering why they took this feature out of
the framework. It's quick, easy and very useful.

Ta ra
