dynamically set the label in master page depending on content page

[ITking2009]

Hi,
Here's what i want to achieve
I have a master page which has to display the page we are on (content page) somewhere on the master page.
For example if we are on login page it should display login, if we are on feedback page the master page should display feedback etc.

I tried using label but then couldn't set the property in the content page or content page.cs file

Can anyone direct me how to set a master page property in content page or if there is another approach i need to take.

Thanks
PS: I have to do this in master page instead of moving it to content pages because its a part of the page which is common among all the pages.

You have to expose a public property on the master page. Then you can set it from any content page.

You can find examples on line and in the help files

you can define the title of the page in the content place holder tag. this will show in the browser's title bar, not the actual page.

you could also use a bread crumb trail (i think there is a webform control for this.) or pull the Title property from the master page and put the title in the page itself.

exposing public properties and down casting objects "works" but breaks the concept of encapsulation and can become a pain to maintain when you need to alter the master page.
