Hello,
I want to define a MasterPage which already has some asp:Textbox and other
controls defined inside a ContentPlaceHol der. The idea is that the user of
the master page just changes two or three properties of these "predefined "
controls and has everything right in place. I realize I could program an
ASCX or Webcontrol instead and let the users put that on the page
themselves. But I would prefer if it was already predefined in the master
page, because the controls would be in the right place already.
It seems like I cannot put any constrols inside a ContentPlaceHol der. What
else could I do to achieve my desired result, in a way it is as easy and
fool-proof as possible? Note that the users work with VWD 2005, so I cannot
use Enterpise Templates or such.
Thanks for any ideas,
Urs 2 1465
Is there a way you can place those TextBox controls in the master page
itself?
Then you could expose the TextBox controls as properties of the master
page, and in the Page_Load for the aspx web form the programmer could
just grab a reference to the master page (this.Master or Me.Master),
cast it to the actual type of the master page, and set some properties
via the TextBox properties the master page exposes.

How do you "cast it to the actual type of the master page"? Could you please
provide an example? I've tried to make a public property of a textbox on the
master page and read the value from a content page, but I'm baffled!
Thanks much,
David

Hi,
I am looking for a good - easy to comprehend little CMS application for my
"beginners" asp.net 2.0 site.
It must be able to use Access as the database (only a couple of people will
be posting and editing news articles).
I use masterpages so it needs to be able to publish content in the
ContentPlaceholder server controls.

Hi everyone,
I'm slowly going mad with Masterpages and the FindControl. After a
couple days of figuring out how to use the FindControl command from
within a Masterpage, I still can't explain why this code does not
function. As you can see if you compile it with 2005, clicking
"Button" will achieve the desired result of displaying the contents of
the textbox, however the test(); function called from Page_Load does
not do anything. ...

I have two masterpages in a web application. One is used for the login and
logout pages. The other is used for all other pages in the application.
The difference between the two masterpages is that on the main one I have a
user control in the left side that has the site navigation menu while the
login/logout masterpage has a non-breaking space in that table cell.
Everything else is exactly the same.
The issue is that the login/logout...

Hello All,
I am designing the masterpage for my application.
The main drawback I observed that it does not resize ifself according

I have to write a javascript for content size adjustment. I am

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.
