How to determine which Child Page is being displayed from Master Page?

Question

I\'m writing code on the master page, and I need to know which child (content) page is being displayed. How can I do this programmatically?

Answer 1

I have had a reason to check the child page in the master page.

I have all my menu options on my master page and they need to be disabled if certain system settings are not set up.

If they are not then a message is displayed and the buttons are disabled. As the settings page is a content page from this master page I don't want the message to keep being displayed on all the settings pages.

this code worked for me:

                //Only show the message if on the dashboard (first page after login)
                if (this.ContentPlaceHolder1.Page is Dashboard)
                {
                    //Show modal message box
                    mmb.Show("Warning Message");
                }
