Set Custom Page properties declaratively

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a base class (which inherits from System.Web.UI.Page) for all the
pages in my application. I have a property defined on this class that I want
to set declaratively in the .aspx (i.e., not in the .aspx.cs) file.

Is there any way to do this declaratively? When I try to use the <@ Page
....> directive, it only allows the predefined attributes to be used.

Thanks,

Richard Brown

Thanks for replying so quickly. Unfortunately the example you have provided
does not meet my requirements on two counts:

1. This is not declarative. This is code, and I would add this to the
code-behind class.

2. The <script> tags allow the client to define functions, but not run code.

If the code requires to be run it needs the old-style <% %> breakout.
However this code is then run during the rendering of the page, which is
invoked from the .Net Framework (i.e,. the client does not have control over
when this code is executed).

I was wondering if there is a way of declaratively setting the properties of
the page class before the OnInit (in much the same way that properties are
set in a server control).

Thanks,
