Inserting Page Title in HTML Automatically

I'd like to have a page's title appear within the page (ideally, by
inserting something in a master page).

I tried the following:

xxx <%# Page.Title %> xxx

I tried this in both a content page and a master page. It compiles without
error but, in both cases, the two "xxx" showed up with only a space between.

Is this possible? I would really prefer not to use a label that is set from
code.

Thanks.

Playing around with this, I came up with:

<% Response.Write(Page.Title); %>

Re: Inserting Page Title in HTML Automatically

Jonathan,
I'm not sure I completely understand what your goal is here, but the Page
class in ASP.NET 2.0 has a handy "Title" property, e.g.

Page_Load( xxxx )
{
Page.Title ="This is the Page Title Dood!";
}

I'm not trying to set the title text. I'm trying to insert the title text
within my HTML text.

I could create a label and set the label's text from the Load handler. But
that means that I'll need this little bit of code in every single one of
dozens and dozens of pages. That's why I said I would really prefer not to
use a label that is set from code.

Makes sense. I was trying to duplicate something I'd seen in a gridview
template. I had a hard time finding a good reference on the different
syntaxes and how they are used. (Google won't search on punctuation and the
few books in front of me do not list <% in the index.)

Thanks.

RE: Inserting Page Title in HTML Automatically

the easiest and cleanest is to create your own control. just a couple of
lines of code:

public class PageTitle : Label
{
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter output)
{
Text = Page.Title;
base.Render(output);
}
}


then you can



anywhere you want the title to render.

I'm not sure if I think that is a better solution, but it is an interesting
approach.

Thanks!
