I have been looking around yet I can't find any that fits in my problem.
I am doing this in c# asp.net visual studio 2005, i have a master page and removed the Page_Load event from there since i wanted the Page_Load in the pages other than the master to fire. So in one of the pages other than the masterpage:
in page1.aspx:
public partial class page1 : System.Web.UI.Page{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){
}(this.Master as IMasterPage).SetSelected("gtm");}
and in masterpage.cs:
public partial class Master : System.Web.UI.MasterPage, IMasterPage{
#region ImasterPage Members
public void Set Selected(string name){
}switch (name){ case "gtm": this.gtm.CssClass = "gtm_sel"; break; default: break; }}
the codes shown are for the horizontal, single-level main menu somewhere on top of page and i wanted the menu selected to highlight after the page reloads but the page_load on the page1.aspx does not seem to be called! this is the part of the menu in the masterpage:
<div id="menu" class=''>
<ul>
<li><asp:HyperLink ID="com" CssClass="gtm" runat="server" NavigateUrl="~/Page1.aspx"><span>Courses</span></asp:HyperLink></li>
<li><asp:HyperLink ID="tbm" CssClass="tbm" runat="server" NavigateUrl="~/page2.aspx"><span>Team Building</span></asp:HyperLink></li>
<li><asp:HyperLink ID="ptm" CssClass="ptm" runat="server" NavigateUrl="~/page3.aspx"><span>Personal Training</span></asp:HyperLink></li>
<li><asp:HyperLink ID="atm" CssClass="atm" runat="server" NavigateUrl="~/page4.aspx"><span>Adventure Tours</span></asp:HyperLink></li>
<li><asp:HyperLink ID="gtm" CssClass="stm" runat="server" NavigateUrl="~/groupTraining.aspx"><span>Group Training</span></asp:HyperLink></li>
</ul>
</div>
all css styles for hover and selected (eg: gtm_sel) are defined and working properly in the sense that when i bypass the page load even from page1.aspx onto the page_load event of the master page calling it from there like: this.SetSelected('gtm'); it works like a charm
