Adding controls to Page.Controls collection

[Jeremy Ames]

I have run into a major road block with my page development projects. I am
trying to add a literal control to my asp.net page and I got an error
stating that the control could not be added because of code blocks (<% %>)
on the page. Most of these blocks can be handled by adding a label control
to the form so it is not that big of deal, but one of the things being
posted is the page title. I am not sure how I can access that from the code
behind page. I also call a function that creates a css style sheet as well
as a function that creates my navigation bar for the web site. Is there a
way for me to get around the error without moving the code blocks? If not,
how can I implement the changes for the three problem areas?

Try adding a panel and then adding the control to the panel. As I have not
worked with <% %> blocks, this is just a guess, but the panel makes a better
container for controls than Page, IMO.

if you are framework 1.1,

<title id=title runat=server>

will showup on the codebehind as a generic html control, which you can set
attributes or innerhtml.

The literal that I am loading is Javascript. Will that work in a panel?

What about the CSS? That is supposed to go into the head section of the
page.

When outputting javascript, Microsoft has supplied several methods on the
Page object to properly place the code and avoid getting called multiple
times. Look up RegisterStartupScript, RegisterClientScriptBlock,
IsClientScriptBlockRegistered and IsStartupScriptRegistered on the Page
class.

I don't recommend using a Panel as a place to drop any controls unless you
want its <div> wrapper. Microsoft provided the PlaceHolder control as a
place to add other controls without getting any additional HTML.
