Master sites with placeholder in head-tag
-
Hi everybody, today i have started to take a look at ASP.NET 2.0. It has some nice features like the new master-sites (waited for something like this). But i've encountered the following problem. Is there a possibility to define a master-site that allows dynamic content inside the head-part? Background is, that my content sites should have different meta tags e.g. for date or keywords. The following code isn't working, but should illustrate what i want to do. Is there some possibility or do i have to look for other solutions? Thanks in advance!

Hi there, There are two options come to mind: + You can place the
ContentPlaceHoldercontrol between the open and close tags of the head element in the MasterPage:*************MasterPage.master******************

Thanks for the reply. I tried the first option before posting here, but it doesn't work (get a compiler error that the tag prefix asp is unknown). Second option isn't as nice as the first one would be, but it does what i want.

Don't worry about this error, it still works just fine, make sure that you don't have any other error when the build is OK when you compile your web site.
