.ascx file question

[Rob Meade]

Hi all,

Still very new to ASP.Net so please bare with me.

I have created several .ascx controls which I have dragged and dropped onto
my page in a table, looks very nice - each of the controls contains HTML
code which is re-used across several pages.

One on the controls places a navigation bar across the page and should tell
the user where they are etc.

When I clicked on 'view code' in VS to add some IF...THEN's for checking the
page they are on against my list of pages they could be on - I received an
error message about the positioning of my code....I am a bit lost...

Here's the code from the control as it is now -working -without what I'd
like to add...

Public Class GreyBar
Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl
#Region " Web Form Designer Generated Code "
'This call is required by the Web Form Designer.
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()
End Sub
'NOTE: The following placeholder declaration is required by the Web Form
Designer.
'Do not delete or move it.
Private designerPlaceholderDeclaration As System.Object
Private Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Init
'CODEGEN: This method call is required by the Web Form Designer
'Do not modify it using the code editor.
InitializeComponent()
End Sub
#End Region
End Class

And here's the HMTL view of the page :

<%@ Control Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false"
Codebehind="GreyBar.ascx.vb" Inherits="eNotifications.GreyBar"
TargetSchema="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5" %>
<table cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<td align="right" bgColor="#dddddd"><font
class="greybarHeadingText"><b>PAGE NAME HERE<b>&nbsp;</font></td>
</tr>
</table>


What I want to do is run something like this (this is probably what I'd have
done in regular ASP)...

If UCase(Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")) = "NOTIFICATION.ASPX" Then

strPageName = "Submit Notification"

End If

Obviously I would have more of these for the other pages too, but this would
then give me the text I want in a variable to then use above perhaps in the
form of :

<%=strPageName%>

etc

But I'm not sure where to place this code - surely it should go into the
..ascx file - in the code behind (.vb) file for it?

Any help would be appreciated...

Regards

Rob

I have managed to get it to work by adding the following into my .vb file
for the .ascx

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

' Declare variables

Dim aScriptName As Array
Dim strScriptName As String

' Populate script name variable
strScriptName = UCase(Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME"))

' Create an array of script name parts
aScriptName = Split(strScriptName, "/")

' Set our script name variable to equal the last item in the array
strScriptName = aScriptName(UBound(aScriptName))

' Begin our page name testing routine

If strScriptName = "LOGOUT.ASPX" Then

lblPageName.Text = "Log Out"

ElseIf strScriptName = "NOTIFICATION.ASPX" Then

lblPageName.Text = "Submit Notification"

End If

End Sub


Seems to work nicely, but if anyone spots any mistakes, ie, I'm going about
this the wrong way please let me know.

Thanks

Rob
