Question

I have a controller’s action and view page that uses a master page.

The master page has the html title section like:

<title>this is the page's title</html>

How can I access this section from within my controller’s action (preferably) or my action’s view page?

Answer 1

<title><%= Model.PageTitle %></html>

public class MasterModel
{
    public string PageTitle { set; get; }
}

public class MyViewModel : MasterModel
{
    /* ... */
}

You can set the base class PageTitle property in a controller action all you want.

public ActionResult SomeAction ()
{
    MyViewModel model = new MyViewModel ();
    model.PageTitle = "this is the page's title";

    return View (model);
}
