In many forums i found that asp.net c# vb.net developers ask expert how to get or read master page control from content page as well as how to get or read content page control from master page. Thats why in this asp.net tutorial i will explain how you can access or read content page controls from master page as well as access or read master page controls from content page.
If you want to read master page & content page controls using javascript then click here.
To do it by a simple example add a master page and a content page in your project.
The HTML Markup is given below:
Master Page:
<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="MasterPage.master.cs" Inherits="MasterPage" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Label ID="lblMaster" runat="server" Text="Master Label"></asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtMaster" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<br />
<hr />
<asp:contentplaceholder id="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
</asp:contentplaceholder>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Content Page:<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="child_form.aspx.cs" Inherits="child_form" Title="Master & content page overview: " %> <asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server"> <asp:Label ID="lblChild" runat="server" Text="Child Label"></asp:Label> <asp:TextBox ID="txtChild" runat="server"></asp:TextBox> </asp:Content>The server side code is given below:
Master Page:
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
public partial class MasterPage : System.Web.UI.MasterPage
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
ContentPlaceHolder ContentPlaceHolder1 = (ContentPlaceHolder)this.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolder1");
if (ContentPlaceHolder1 != null)
{
Label lblChild = (Label)ContentPlaceHolder1.FindControl("lblChild");
TextBox txtChild = (TextBox)ContentPlaceHolder1.FindControl("txtChild");
if (lblChild != null)
lblChild.Text = "My Child Label";
if (txtChild != null)
txtChild.Text = "My Child TextBox";
}
}
}
}
Content Page:using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
public partial class child_form : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
Label lblMaster=(Label)Master.FindControl("lblMaster");
TextBox txtMaster = (TextBox)Master.FindControl("txtMaster");
if (lblMaster != null)
lblMaster.Text = "My Master Label";
if (txtMaster != null)
txtMaster.Text = "My Master TextBox";
}
}
}
If you look at my code then you will find that you can easily read master page controls from content pageby using Master.FindControl() method. And can read content page from master page by using this.FindControl method.
The output will be:
Hope now you can read master page controls & content page control from each other.
