Master Page question

4/11/2006 1:39:43 PM

0/0

I have a master page in my web app that works great when the pages that use it are in the same directory. But when I have pages use it that are in a sub-directory, the links used in the master page are broken due to the fact that the directories are different.

I though one way of fixing this would be to use a directory + "filename.aspx" structure where directory is a master page property that could be modified by the pages that will reference it. Therefore if a page is in a subdirectory, it could make the value of directory = "./", or something like that.

So my question is, is there a simpler way of doing this. I'd rather not create a master page for each directory.

Thanks in advance.

Two choices

1) involving server controls, in which the ASP.NET runtime will replace"~" with the application root

use the "~" to prefix your href/src parameters, examples:

<img src="~/images/foo.jog" runat="server" />
<asp:Image ImageURL="~/images/foo.jpg" runat="server" />
<a href="~/manage/default.aspx" runat="server">Manage Site</a>
<asp:Hyperlink NavigateURL="~/manage/default.aspx" runat="server" />

2) Use virtual paths in non-server controls, which the leading "/" means "Start at root"

<img src="/images/foo.jpg" />
<a href="/manage/default.aspx">Manage Site</a>

Now if you go with option #2 and you are using Studio or Web Dev Express, you will run into the problem that the built in Web Server adds a level to the directory structure, but there is an easy fix for that

Above all, don't think of the MasterPage (.master) and the Content (.aspx) page as different entities at the end of the page's life cycle... all the code is merged together before it gets sent as HTML to the client (well, much before that stage anyways), so treating the links and references to "start at root" gives you the flexibility to put this stuff anywhere in your application

Thanks, that worked like a charm. I have another Master Page question. I have defined a few functions and properties in the master page. How do I access them from the code behind of the pages that use the master page? Is it the same as using any other class?

Add the following directive to the content page:

<%@ MasterType TypeName="MasterPageClassName" %>

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

Then you can cast as follows to access a property, for example:

((MasterPageClass)this.Master).PropertyName = SomeValue

Actually the nice thing about the MasterType directive is that when you put it in your page then this.Master will give you a strongly typed master page based on the type you specify so you don't have to cast it. If you don't specify the MasterType directive than you have to cast it to your master page class.
