Setting the Page-Title in .Net using C# from a Class

Question

Question,

How do i set the title of a page from a class. Is it even possible? I can and have set the page title from a page itself and a usercontrol.

Can I, How Do I do this via a class using C# .Net

Here is what im looking to do, From the Aspx Page i want to call a function that passes in the string title, and have the class set the page title.

SomePage.Aspx.CS

page_onload()
{
setPageTitle(titleValue);
}

SetPageTitleClass.CS

public static void setPageTitle(string iTitle)
{
Page.title = iTitle; }

The problem is "Page.Title" is not available from the Class

Thanks again

Answer 1

You will need to pass in a reference to the Page you want to set the title of to the c# class you are going to use.

Could you post more detail about what you are trying to do?

Answer 2

Yes. You must get a hold of the Page object. In the Page and UserControls this is relatively easy.

Page.Title = "My Title";

Answer 3

First: why would you want to do that? --- give it back and let the page set it ... u can set it in a base class or master page.

If you still want to do it, is along the lines:

var page = (Page)HttpContext.Current.Handler;
page.Title = "someTitle";

Answer 4

I think the best way would be to have the class expose a TitleChanged event, which the page can subscribe to.

In this way, you are not tightly coupling your solution and everything is kept nice and clean.
