Use Master page but different title for pages

**s2002** · 05:04 AM

I have defined <head> and <title> tags in the master page as follow:
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
</head>
Now I want that the title of the page varry from page tom page and won't be the same in
all pages.when I put<title> in the form1 that use the above master page.I encounter error.
In summary How could Use Master page while each page has it's own title tag.

Look in the <@Page directive at the very top of the content page. There's an attribute to set the title in there.

Alternatively, you can set it in the code-behind by using Page.Title = "My New Title"

Does anyone know how to have a different meta description for the non-master pages? I see a Description attirbute in the Page directive, but when the pages renders to the browser and I view the source I do not see the meta desciption tag.

Add a property to Master page like:

public bool AddMeta
{
set { _AddMeta=value;}
}

On Master PAGE LOAD:

protectedvoid Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

if (_AddMeta)
{

Page.Header.Controls.Add(newLiteralControl(@"<meta>"));
}
}

On Child Pages Call it like:

MasterPage objMaster = (MasterPage)this.Master;
objMaster.AddMeta = true;
