simple c# question on master page functions

[lamarant]

Hi,

I'm trying to do something that should seem very simple. I want to include a function in a master page that I can call in all of it's child pages. Something like this:

master page code:

void helloWorld()
{ response.write("Hello World");}


child page code:

<% page.master.helloWord() %>

I am fairly new to asp.net and have very little programming experience with c#, so pardon me if this is a dumb question. If you know the answer, PLEASE respond with the actual code to do the above.

Thanks in advance!

If you are wanting to call a method from a "Master Page's Code Behind Page" then you will have to declare the following in the HTML side of your ASPX page.

<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/MasterPage1.master" %>
 

So an example of the HTML page would be:

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage1.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="DefaultWMP1.aspx.cs" Inherits="DefaultWMP1" Title="Default With Master Page 1" %>
 
<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/MasterPage1.master" %>
 
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">
</asp:Content>
 

Then your ASPX Code Behind Page method would be:

public partial class DefaultWMP1 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Master.HelloWorld();
}
}
 

Hope this helps...
