Question

Is it possible to set the data in a ContentPlaceHolder through code? This is what I am thinking of:

dim oCPH as new ContentPlaceHolder oCPH.id = 'column1' 'this id is the one that corresponds with the ID I set on the page oCPH.content = 'content here' '<-- not real code 

Obviously that is not correct syntax, I hope that this clarifies what I am asking.

You should be able to reference it through the MasterPage element on the current page. Something like:

ContentPlaceHolder cph = (ContentPlaceHolder)Master.FindControl('column1'); 

If in the MasterPage codebehind, just reference it by name.
