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");
                }

Answer 2

You can use:

Request.CurrentExecutionFilePath

Answer 3

string s =   Page.ToString().Replace("ASP.directory_name_","").Replace("_aspx",".aspx").Replace("_","-");
        if (s == "default.aspx")
              { /* do something */ }

Answer 4

so many answers I am using

<%if(this.MainContent.Page.Title != "mypagetitle") { %>
<%}%>

this makes it easy to exclude any single page and since your comparing a string you could even prefix pages like exclude_pagetitle and comparing a sub-string of the title. I use this commonly to exclude log in pages from certain features I don't want to load like session timeouts and live chat.

Answer 5

You can try this one:

<%: this.ContentPlaceHolder1.Page.GetType().Name.Split('_')[0].ToUpper() %>

Put that code within the title tags of the Site.Master

Answer 6

You can check the page type in the code-behind:

// Assuming MyPage1, MyPage2, and MyPage3 are the class names in your aspx.cs files:

if (this.Page is MyPage1)
{
  // do MyPage1 specific stuff
}
else if (this.Page is MyPage2)
{
  // do MyPage2 specific stuff
}
else if (this.Page is MyPage3)
{
  // do MyPage3 specific stuff
}
