Question

What's the best method to be overloaded in ViewPage for inserting some script to all ViewPage?

Answer 1

+1 A:

Don't do it in code; do it in markup. Add the script tag to your Site.Master, in the correct, valid place.

It isn't impossible to do that. Developer who uses my source code at the first-time must learn a lot of things before write hello world page.

I didn't say that the other way was impossible. I said that putting it in markup was the *correct* way to do it, per MVC conventions. *Any* codebehind is arguably out of place in MVC views. So if you're worried about confusing other MVC developers, don't use it!

Answer 2

A:

I just see head of both View Page & View Master Page always run at server. Please look at the following templates.

Default Template of ViewPage

<%@ Page Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <div>

    </div>
</body>
</html>

Default Template of ViewMasterPage

<%@ Master Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewMasterPage" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
    <title><asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="TitleContent" runat="server" /></title>
</head>
<body>
    <div>
        <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="MainContent" runat="server">

        </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Therefore, it is very easy to solve this question by adding some control to header control.

public class ViewPage : mvc.ViewPage
{
    protected override void Render(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer)
    {
        if (Header == null)
            throw new Exception("Header object is null. Please set header runat=\"server\".");

        Header.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(CommonHelper.JavaScript(MvcUtils.GetApplicationUrl(Request) ,string.Empty)));

        base.Render(writer);
    }
}

However, I cannot use this answer in real-world application. Because most of ASP.net MVC application always have “<% %>” tag in header, so I cannot add new control to header control.
