master-pages

In ASP.NET MVC2 how do you call a controller method from the master page? Say for example I wanted to include some overview data in the master: +--------------------------------------+ | Logo Welcome xyz| +--------------------------------------+ | total sales this month $999 | +--------------------------------------+ | Home | Sales | Import | Export (menu)| +--------------------------------------+ And I have inside the Sales controller this method: public ActionResult TotalSalesThisMonth() { var totalSalesModel = SalesService.GetTotalSalesThisMonth() return View(totalSalesModel); } How can I

I built a deployable master page into a dll and referenced it in multiple ASP.NET Web Applications using a virtual path provider. The problem I'm having is that this really confuses the source view of my aspx pages. Here is the code inside each of my aspx.cs pages which actually attatches the MasterPage to each content page, but as I said, now, my <asp:Content> tags get really confused and I cant CTRL K + CTRL + D my content pages anymore, it throws validation errors on EVERYTHING. HELP! protected override void OnPreInit(EventArgs e) { MasterPageFile = MasterPageVirtualPathProvider

I have a Base MasterPage class, from which my masterpages will inherit. I have some javascript functions there for it's child pages to include. As it's a base class, it does not have a visual designer nor I can add XHTML code. I need to add a hidden field to the class so I can set it's value in the javascript code, and when a postback occurs I can get the setted value on my content pages. Yet I fail to achieve this, for when I try to add the hidden field to the base masterpage's control collection I get a render error (Content Encoding error if viewed in Firefox). And If I try cheating and

How do I reference a master page from an ASP.NET webform? The following statement does not work: this.MasterPage.Page.Title = "My Title"; In your aspx, below the Page directive, write: <%@ MasterType VirtualPath="YourMasterFile" %> And then from your code, write Master. anything that you want to use, for example: Master.Title = "My Title"; you have to cast this.MasterPage into the type of masterpage you have, and then you can access it as you'd expect var mp = this.MasterPage as MyMasterPageType; mp.Property = value... etc From the Page you can use the Master property and cast this to your

I'm using strongly typed views and autofac for Dependency Injection under ASP.NET MVC2 and I'm trying to get a common dynamic header via dependency injection. I.e. i want this to happen without the view having to be away of this content even existing and i was hoping to avoid static discovery of the container and manual resolution, but I can't find a way to easily inject the master or a partial view included in the master via either ctor or property injection. I can't imagine this is an uncommon task, but all I can find in terms of methods is Controller subclassing to stuff data into untyped
