  • 0

I am using the MVC to add a title to the masterpage with a content place holder. The default MVC masterpage template uses the following code:

<head runat='server'> <meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' /> <title><asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID='TitleContent' runat='server'/></title> <link href='../../Content/Site.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' /> </head>

When I try to add defaulted text to the front of the content holder, it doesn’t show the text in the final rendered page. I am trying to get the page to show a default title with appended contentplaceholder text.

Example:
(Default Text) (ContentPlaceHolder Text)
My Page – About Us

<head runat='server'> <meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' /> <title>My Page - <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID='TitleContent' runat='server'/></title> <link href='../../Content/Site.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' /> </head>

I am looking for a way to accomplish this without having to use code behind. Any ideas?

  1. After looking further, Phil Haack actually posted an article which was a solution to my question. It can be found at Haacked.

    In summary he said that everything that is rendered in the head is rendered as a control, and the fix for my question above is to put an asp literal control in the title to have it correctly generate the text.

    <%@ Master ... %> <html> <head runat='server'>   <title>     <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID='titleContent' runat='server' />      <asp:LiteralControl runat='server' Text=' - MySite' />   </title> </head> ...
