I need to set the title of a page dynamically, and so I use code similar to the following:

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="~/about.aspx.cs" Inherits="Default" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" tagprefix="ajaxToolkit" %>
<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="MasterPage.master" %>
<%@ OutputCache Duration="43200" VaryByParam="*" Location="Server" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" Runat="Server">
 <title><%=pageTitle%></title>
</asp:Content>

But this generates duplicate title tags. Is there any way I can get around this? Thanks.

EDIT: Following from the suggestions below, I now have the following in my MasterPage:

<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<title>Default Title</title>
...
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="head" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>

and the following in my primary page:

    this.Title="xxx";

but I’m not getting any title (neither “Default Title” nor “xxx”).

EDIT: Nevermind. Got it working using that method.

    The header of your .master needs to look like this:

    <head runat="server">
<title>Default Title</title>
  .. other tags
</head>

    Then in your page code-behind in the Page_Load, you write:

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.Title = "My Page Title";
}
