ASP.NET / C# Page Title
OK I know this is a stupid question and I really don't know what or how to search for this problem.
The problem is that I am storing the page Title values into database and then retrieving the values from database and assigning that title to the page using this piece of code this.Title = pageTitle; and it is rendering as following
<head><title>
page title here
</title>
but my manager wants me to make it render as following
<head><title>page title here</title>
I don't have any idea what to search or how to do it :( I am using ASP.NET 4 and C# 4 over IIS 6 and Windows Server 2003 (SQL Server 2008 R2 if that helps)
EDIT: I have tried
<head><title><asp:Literal ID="ltrlMasterTitle" runat="server" Text=""</asp:Literal></title>
And setting it to my desired value using the following code
Literal lblMasterTitle = (Literal)this.Page.Master.FindControl("lblMasterTitle");
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(pageTitle))
lblMasterTitle.Text = pageTitle;
but it also renders the same way. PS: I tried to use the solution suggested by Jonathan Hanson but I couldn't figure out the transfer of data between master page and the child page :/
ANOTHER EDIT: I have tried the method suggested in Jonathan Hanson's link but that also render the same o.O
Answer
One option would be to use an embeded code-block like this:
<head><title><%=PageTitle%></title>
Then in your code behind:
public String PageTitle
{
get;
set;
}
then...
PageTitle = pageTitle;
That should do the trick--albeit kind of ugly. Then again, that is what managers get for micromanaging stupid crap like this.
