.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / August 2007master pages and css
Hello I understand how master pages work with containers. How would i go about having a stylesheet for one of my containers in a different aspx file considering that the <head> element is in the master file? Putting it in the master file means it will be included for all. once using master pages, aspx files only have this <asp:Content ID="ContentSiteBody" ContentPlaceHolderID="SiteBody" Runat="Server"> any help would....help :) > Hello > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > any help would....help :) you can use following technique Style s = new Style(); s.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red; Page.Header.StyleSheet.CreateStyleRule(s, this, "BODY"); this would change the background of your content page http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet/browse_t hread/thread/cd61cb0ba720710d > Hello > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > any help would....help :) Another method would be to create a writeable property in your master page which allows you to set the css for the page being loaded. I have done this for metatags and titles also.

Sure you can jump through hoops like this, but it's way easier just to have a contentplaceholder in the <head> section of the (X)HTML in the master page, then on content pages where you want to something, you just use a content tag and insert the code. For example, the top of a master page could look like this... <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head runat="server"> <title>Untitled Page</title> <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="cplHead" runat="server" /> </head> <body> ....and the content page would include this... <asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="cplHead" runat="server"> <link href="fred.css" ..../> <meta name="ferret" content="furry" /> </asp:Content> This is *much* easier than using the ASP.NET objects to modify the <head> programmatically.

Thank you Alan! >>http://www.pluralsight.com/blogs/ted/archive/2005/08/31/14437.aspx > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > HTH No disrespect taken. I think it depends a lot on how much flexibly you need. If it you are trying to build an app that is going to have a lot of flexibility, I prefer properties.

I showed a static way to do it, but there's nothing wrong with putting a Literal control in the <head> content tag and setting the stylesheet dynamically. Works the same as a property, but much simpler IMO. I'd be interested to hear why you prefer properties.

I admit that setting the style sheet is not the best example for using properties. I use it for setting menus, titles and body attributes. Maybe it is just a preference thing.

OK, for titles and body attributes it could be sensible, although I often bung a Literal in the <title> tag and do the same thing! Horses for courses I guess.

I can say, if MasterPage has to be different for different sets of content pages, than it is not really a "master". In this case you can also have MasterPage2 with different CSS on it and you can use it for that set of content pages where the style should be different. >On Aug 30, 7:47 pm, Alan Silver <alan-sil...@nospam.thanx.invalid> >wrote: [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >you can use it for that set of content pages where the style should be >different. Could be, although I have had cases where one particular page required extra CSS, and I didn't want to include that in the CSS for every page, so I just added an extra link in the header for that one page. Certainly wasn't worth doing a new master page for just that. Ta ra SignatureAlan Silver (anything added below this line is nothing to do with me)
