Calling procedure in Masterpage from User Control

[Christiano Donke]

Hello...

I have this UserControl (login.ascx -Login), that is placed in a
Masterpage (Layout.master -Layout).

How can I call a sub (RedrawMenu) that is place in the code-behind of the
master page from within a sub inside the UserControl???

i'm having all this issues because all the components are inseide
UpdatePanels, to avoid the whole page reload.. but know, the function is not
being called...

Searching the web, i've found something like this:
Dim cmp As CustomMasterPag e = CType(Master, CustomMasterPag e)

But since i'm in an User Control, it doesn't work...
tks in advance...

ok...so I should replace the MasterPage1 by my Masterpage name, right???

so it will be:
Layout m = this.Page.Maste r as Layout;
m.RedrawMenu();

since i'm using VB:
Dim m as Layout = TryCast(Me.Page .Master, Layout)
m.RedrawMenu

But VS is complainig that "Layout is not defined"

should i have it declared somewhere before?
tks..

To do, you have to write RedrawMenu as public methode and in the
UserControl you have to user the Master property of the Page

Exemeple:

// in you master (MasterPage1)co de-behind:

public void RedrawMenu()
{

}

// In the UserControl :

MasterPage1 m = this.Page.Maste r as MasterPage1;
m.RedrawMenu();

while this is a giood design practice, the simple solution is to use the
@MasterType directive which will type the Master page property for you, so no
casts are required.

You have this isue because your project is a website, not an application.

To solve this, you have 2 ways:
1) use a web application

2) create an interface that will be use by your masterpage

Public Interface ILayout
Sub RedrawMenu()
End Interface

Partial Public Class Layout
Inherits System.Web.UI.M asterPage
Implements ILayout

Public Sub RedrawMenu() Implements ILayout.RedrawM enu

End Sub
End Class

Partial Class WebUserControl
Inherits System.Web.UI.U serControl

Public Sub New()
Dim m As ILayout = TryCast(Me.Page .Master, ILayout)
m.RedrawMenu()
End Sub
End Class

Is it bad to be a Web Site and not a WebApplication? ??

I've tried converting it to an application... But.. Can I still use ajax?
and other components???

I figured out already that the Web.Config has been replaced by the
Settings.vb file..
What about the Authentication/Authorization statements???
I usually use Web Site projects and not the Web

(Both lame questions, but I need to ask it... lol)

Matter of opinion - I never use the website model...

Yes.

Settings.vb file..

Ah - sounds like you've converted your website to a WinForms application,
not a web application...
