Applying Processing to Every Page

[Guest]

Hello-

I need to run some code on every one of my ASP.NET pages (1.x). The code
basically registers some client script blocks. I've been trying to find a way
to do this that doesn't involve me creating a new base class for all of my
pages. I was hoping that I could hook into an event via the Global.asax of an
HttpModule, but alas, I need to get at the Page object to register the
scripts. Does anyone have any ideas?

Regards-
Eric

The simplest would just to create one base class for all your pages, not
many.

public class BasePage : System.Web.Page
{

public void RegisterScripts()
{
//Do Work Here
}
}


Then your pages can just inherit from this page


public class MyScreen : BasePage
{

public void Page_Load()
{
this.RegisterScripts();
}
}

And you're done!

Yeah, I've used the technique of creating a common base class before. It
works well, but still requires a change to every page, albiet once. I was
hoping there might be some way to hook into the page's events without having
to edit the page itself - similar to how a HttpModule can hook into the Http
pipeline's events.
