Question

Title on Master Page on ASP.Net MVC

Answer 1

A:

Use the OnPreRender event on the master page to set the title, overriding what has been set on each page.

It's MVC, better avoid the whole page events altogether.

Oh well, he wants minimal changes and this is then the way to go..

Answer 2

A:

Easiest way:

Move the current ContentPlaceHolder somewhere to your HTML, and wrap it in a <asp:PlaceHolder runat="server" visible="false"/>. When you'll be needing it later on, just move the ContentPlaceHolder back again.

i can't move it from title,but i set Visible="false"<title>My Title<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="TitleContent" runat="server" Visible="false" /> </title>, still not working

You need to create a new `<asp:PlaceHolder>`, like `<asp:PlaceHolder runat='server' Visible='false'><asp:ContentPlaceHolder ... /></asp:PlaceHolder>`

Answer 3

A:

why not add attribute Visible=false to ContentPlaceHolder of Master Page

I think this is the easiest way to handle your situation.

Happy coding.

Thanks Guys.. I got solution

if you want to set part of the title from within the master page. For example, you might want the title of every page to end with a suffix, “ – MySite”.

If you try this (notice the – MySite tacked on):

<%@ Master ... %>
<html>
<head runat="server">
  <title>
    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="titleContent" runat="server" /> - MySite
  </title>
</head>

And run the page, you’ll find that the – MySite is not rendered. This appears to be a quirk of the HtmlHead control. This is because the title tag within the HtmlHead control is now itself a control.

The fix is pretty simple. Add your text to a LiteralControl like so.

<%@ Master ... %>
<html>
<head runat="server">
  <title>
    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="titleContent" runat="server" /> 
    <asp:Literalrunat="server" Text=" - MySite" />
  </title>
</head>

Fyi, this is generally a BAD idea for SEO compliancy/ranking. Your TITLE should match your first H1 exactly, else Google and Bing may report errors. http://eduncan911.com/blog/8-steps-to-seo-quickly.aspx

Answer 5

+1 A:

If you want a good solution to overriding the page title:

Create a class of your own that inherits from the System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage.

Have your view pages inherit from that class:

Write a Page_Load handler in your new class that does something like this:

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
   Me.Title = "Company Name | " + Page.Title
End Sub

You also don't need a content place holder to change the title. The <head> tag is already a runat server control. Setting the Page.Title in the page load (or earlier event) work just fine.

You could also put a runat server script tag in your master page to accomplish this task too.
