Using ASP.NET with C#, I would like to load the content of another page

  • 0

Using ASP.NET with C#, I would like to load the content of another page into my current page.

I have a main div id="maindiv" on one page with a header above it. The header contains clickable links that route to the same url with a get variable like http://www.mainpage.com&page=nextpage. I would like to use the page get variable in a switch case to load from a specified page into maindiv. I can do the switch case bit fine, but how do I load the response from another page?

    It sounds like you want to keep the same layout (header, navigation, footer, etc) for all of your pages. ASP.NET 2.0 introduced Master Pages, which are basically layout files that allow you to create Content pages that fill in place holders in the layout.

    ASP.NET master pages allow you to create a consistent layout for the
    pages in your application. A single master page defines the look and
    feel and standard behavior that you want for all of the pages (or a
    group of pages) in your application. You can then create individual
    content pages that contain the content you want to display. When users
    request the content pages, they merge with the master page to produce
    output that combines the layout of the master page with the content
    from the content page.

    Here’s a sample from the MSDN article.

    Master Page:

    <%@ Master Language="C#" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 
    1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server" >
    <title>Master page title</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <div><asp:contentplaceholder id="Main" runat="server" /></div>
        <div><asp:contentplaceholder id="Footer" runat="server" /></div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

    Content page:

    <% @ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Master.master" Title="Content Page 1" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="Main" Runat="Server">
    Main content.
</asp:Content>

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="Footer" Runat="Server" >
    Footer content.
</asp:content>
