Getting current page in Master Page

[David C]

I have a Master Page that I use for several web pages. In the code-behind
of the Master Page I have a Page_Load event that sets some information
inside the controls of the Master Page (see example below).

I would like to alter some of the Text properties of controls in the
MasterPage based on the page name, e.g. Default.aspx, HomePage.aspx, etc.
How do I determine the name of the web page that is opening? Thanks.

David

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Me.Load
LblTitle.Text = "New Web Page"
LBtnPhotos.Text = "Initial Photos"
End Sub

The most important thing to remember about a MasterPage is that it is
nothing more than a UserControl.

The biggest mistake people make about MasterPages is to imagine that a
MasterPage "owns" a content page when, in fact, it is the other way round.

Therefore, if a MasterPage needs to know on which page it is being used, it
just needs to inspect its Parent property, e.g.

protected void Page_Init(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
switch (this.Parent.To String())
{
case "........" :
{
// do something
break;
}
case "........" :
{
// do something
break;
}
}
}
