From: Cal Who on 17 May 2010 11:27 I have realy two websites in one host folder. To get to one use Default1.aspx to get to the other use Default2.aspx. Default1 and all the pages that it's menu goes to uses One.master. Default2 and all the pages that it's menu goes to uses Two.master. However, there are some pages that should be available from both sites. So the question is: can I somehow define, at run-time, the master to be used by a page. That is, if a page is opened from Default1 I want it to use One.master, and if it is accessed from Default2 I want it to use Two.master. Can you tell me how to do that? Or some other approach? Thanks in advance

If there is only one, I would recommend to copy it between projects. You can set the master programmatically using the page's PreInit event. But in this case you would need to refer also to other project (dlls) and this could be a problem I guess.

Two master pages and I'll try to select the active one in PreInit of the aspx.vb file by using a Session variable. Thanks

The sites are interesting. One thing I noticed is that you use the e-mail address as the login username. I use asp:CreateUserWizard and couldn't manage to do that. It's been a while but I think the problem I had was that that method actually stores a username and a e-mail address separately and I was having a problem keeping them synchronized. Do you make the user type it in as a username and also as an e-mail address and then check to see if they are the same? Thanks |
