  Call sub from Master Page

  Nov 04, 2010 10:54 PM|LINK

  
  

  On the content page, there is let's say this:

  Public Sub MySub()

  
  

  End Sub

  
  

  On the master page I have this:

  Dim cph As ContentPlaceHolder = CType(Page.Form.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolder1"), ContentPlaceHolder)

  Now, I want to call the Sub on the content page.

  Just can't seem to find a way to do this.

  Thanks,

  Zath

  Say you have a page called Test which will get included in Content place holder, then you have to cast page to the relevent type of call the method.

  Page

  Public Partial Class Test
  	Inherits Page
  	Protected Overrides Sub OnLoad(e As EventArgs)
  		MyBase.OnLoad(e)
  
  
  	End Sub
  	Public Sub MyMethod()
  
  
  	End Sub
  End Class

  Master pages  

  Public Partial Class SiteMaster
  	Inherits MasterPage
  	Protected Overrides Sub OnLoad(e As EventArgs)
  		MyBase.OnLoad(e)
  		Dim testPage As Test = TryCast(Me.Page, Test)
  		If testPage IsNot Nothing Then
  			testPage.MyMethod()
  		End If
  	End Sub
  End Class
  

  
  
  

  If you have to call this method in much more page implement a BasePage so that you can cast the page to base page type and then call the method

  
  

  Thanks
