Does anyone know how to pass Content/ContentPlaceholder information from a page, up through it’s master page, to the parent master page?
Like this example, but with content defined in ChildFile (the page), being output in ParentMaster (q matster page one level higher in the nesting).
AFAIK this is not possible. I haven’t found a perfect solution to this myself, but usually what works well for a little amount of possibilities (such as a 3-choice navigation bar) is a deriving secondary master pages from the master page and using those in your views. Another solution one is would be using javascript to manipulate the master page’s content. A third one would be to isolate the content you want to change from the client page into a separate contentplaceholder and specify that on the client page.
Edit: With the arrival of Razor, this problem is now perfectly solved: Simply put your variables in the ViewBag in the child view and read it in the layout.
