Source: DevX Dynamically Setting the Page's Title in ASP.NET 2.0 10 May 2006 00:00 GMT
The HTML standard defines a number of metadata elements that can optionally be added to a web page. One of the most common
is the <title> element, which appears in the <head> element and names the page. The
value of the title, if provided, appears in the browser's Window title bar and also is the default name provided when bookmarking
a web page. Moreover, many search engines display the page's title as the clickable link when it appears in the results.
For these reasons, from a web developer standpoint, it's important that the page's title be assigned to a descriptive, meaningful
value.
While the <title> can be set statically in an ASP.NET web page, in many scenarios the title is dependent upon
the data displayed in the page. For example, a website might have a ShowProduct.aspx?ID=productID page.
Rather than using a static <title>, the value of the <title> would ideally be the name of
the product being viewed (that is, the product whose ProductID equaled the productID value passed through the
querystring). Unfortunately, in ASP.NET version 1.x, setting any HTML metadata elements (such as <title>)
required that the developer add a Literal control in the proper place in the HTML markup and then set its value programmatically
in the ASP.NET page's code-behind class.
With ASP.NET 2.0, ASP.NET pages can include a <head> section whose values can be read and assigned programmatically.
In this article we'll examine specifically how to dynamically set the page's title. We'll also look at a method that
you can include in your master page or a base page class to automatically set the title based upon the site map information
(similar to how the SiteMapPath
control works). Read on to learn more!
