meta name DESCRIPTION dynamically

[Dariusz Tomon]

Hello

How can I build meta name DESCRIPTION dynamically?
I need an example.

Best Regards

Usually what I would do for these items is to create them in the page by
adding the runat attrribute so

<meta name="description" id="metaDescription" runat="server">

In code you can reference it as a type HtmlGenericControl like so

define it as:
protected HtmlGenericControl metaDescription;

and then you can add whatever attributes you want like so:

metaDescription.Attributes.Add("content","This would be a description of my
page");

Thank you. Will it work in ASP.NET 1.1 Environment?

D.T.

It should work in either 1.1 or 2.0 as I don't think the HtmlGenericControl
has changed between versions.
