Can I remove Master Page in the program?

[J Liang]

Hi, I was wondering whether is it possible for me to remove the Master Page that was previously attached to one page in the program. For example, when some criterias are met, I want the Master Page to off from the page so that I don not need to create another same aspx page without the Master Page. Thanks in advance. J Liang

You can, but I think it needs to be in PreInit or before: C#:

protected override void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.MasterPageFile = "~/yes_my.master";
}

VB:

Protected Sub Page_PreInit(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As EventArgs) _
Handles Me.PreInit

Me.MasterPageFile = "~/yes\_my.master"

End Sub

I don't think you can remove the master page but you can change the master page. So, you can two master pages in your website. Change it at Page_PreInit event. Eg: protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.MasterPageFile = "MasterPage2.master"; } Edit: I didn't see Steve's reply. I think his reply is the answer.. I forget to click "Submit" button before going lunch. -- modified at 2:07 Thursday 16th August, 2007

Before designing a web application using Master pages try to have two master page files: 1) Master page with Header. 2) Master page without Header. Whenever you dont require the header part do the following code protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.MasterPageFile = "MasterWOHeader.master"; } The Idea behind this is, normally we use to include the common javascript functions in the master page since its a generic container. If you remove the masterpage then it might give you some problem[Since masterpage holds the generic javascript code], its better to embed the common javascript files in both the masterpages and use it in the required scenario.
