newbie: asp page templatess

S

suzy

hi i am quite new to .net and am trying to implement page templates but i
just cant seem to get it to work, and i dont quite follow the examples on
the net.

all i want to do is create a template where i have a header (user control),
left column, and footer on every page. the remainder of the page will
change per page.

can anyone please help? i think i know that i have to create a template.cs
file which inherits from the page object. and then my aspx page inherits
from the template.cs object, but the examples seem to confuse me after that.

Hi,

Yes you can inherit from Page class. In your template override
OnInit() method and load your header and footer controls.

example:
protected override void OnInit(EvantArgs args)
{
this.Controls.AddAt(0, LoadControl("path to header.ascx " );
base.OnInit(e);
this.Controls.Add(LoadControl("path to footer.ascx"));
}

Now if any page will inherit from template class it will be wrapped in
header and footer.

Regards
Marcin

it doesn't work for me.

the header and footer appear, but not the main content.

how should i be adding my main content to my main page? and where do the
html/body/title/etc tags go?

thanks

It should work.

It will reneder the controls in the following sequence:
1. header.
2. your page content (that inherits from PageTemplate)
3. footer

All the tags should be placed in such a way that when the page is
rendered it will generate valid HTML code. For example:
<html> <head></head> and opening <body> tag could go to the header
control.
</body> and </html> could go to your footer. Your page content should
define only the "inner part" of the page (no <body>,<head> tags
etc..).

Good luck.

Marcin
