understanding master pages

Hi all
I'd like to understand something about master pages:
1)Why if if try to typecast a masterpage inside a "child page" the compiler
tells it dont find the class? I was trying to declare a property in the
master and access it from the child but the problem is not with the
property, is with the typecast of the class
2)Why both master page and child pages are declared as partial class?
3)Why the events in the Master pages are "created" by Visual Web Developer
2005 EE in the aspx page and not in the codebehind one?
Thanks, Diego

The Master and Page get merged together in terms of their control hierarchys
but they're not related via inheritance. But you can have one access the
other as objects. In the child ASPX you want to add the directive:

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

The in your ASPX just use Page.Master.Som ePublicProp to access the data form
the master.

1. What are some compelling solutions for using Master/Content pages with Web Pages? 2. If a content area has a web part zone with web parts, what is the user experience like when "editting" the web part page? Does it take place at the page level? ...or the content area level? 3. Where is the Web Part Manager instantiated? ...in the Master Page? ....Content Page? ...elsewhere?

Hello, In classic ASP, I used to use two include files on each page, one before and one after the main content, to provide a consistent layout across a web site. That way I could just change the include files to change the layout. When I came to ASP.NET, I used user controls to do a similar thing. I have just been looking at master pages, and it looks like they do the same thing. If so, is there any advantage in using them over the...

Hello, I am just experimenting with master pages, and am trying to add a content placeholder in the <head> section, so that individual pages can set their own page title and meta tags.

I am writing an ASP.NET 2.0 application that uses master pages. I have some pages that must not be cached on the client. In ASP.NET 1.1 I achieved this using metatags: <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0"> <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"> <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache"> This tags are part of the <headelement. Sample code that I have seen shows how to add metatags of the form:

Hi, I have done a fair amount of style editing inline in ASP. I'm now using VS 2005 with a standard web project (not Web Application Project). This is my first foray into CSS in a style sheet and also my first true attempt at using master pages. I tried setting up a style sheet with a simple setting to float an image to the right and it had no effect on the image. Then, I tried putting the style code in my ASPX file as such,

Hi, I want to use 2 master pages, one for the main part of the site, the other for the admin pages. They are quite similar, with many shared elements. Ideally I would like to have a parent master page, which both of these child master pages are based on, and in turn the final pages are based on one of these child master pages.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
