Re: Create Pages on the fly using IHttpHandler. Need advice

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I was able to solve the problem by doing hooking into the constructor for Child.master...dunno if you'll have any side effects this way though...

public sub Child()
MasterPageFile = "Parent.master"
end sub

Pages, controls and masterpages are all class deep down...and if something fires BEFORE PreInit, the constructor must be it :)

Hi,

Got it. I didn't know about the PageHandler part.

I was just looking for a way to solve a problem which I am fighting for
2 days:

How to set the following Nested Master Pages at runtime:

Parent.master
| ---- Child.master
| ------ Page.aspx

Yes, I know that in Page.aspx.vb I can do Me.MasterPageFile =
"~/_Child.master" on the PreInit event. However, I can't do the same on
Child.master.vb because I don't have a PreInit event there.

Do you know any article or have any code example which might help me
with this?

Thank You a Lot,
Miguel

I don't fully understand what you're trying to do...It seems like whatever
you are doing doesn't have an HTML/ASPX front-end component to it....

aspx files are handled by a built-in handler, called the PageHandler...it's
a relatively heavy process...it must raise a number of events (init, load,
prerender, unload are the most well known) as well as do a lot of postback
and viewstate manipulation.

If your requests aren't doing any of those, such as a RSS feed, then a
custom httphandler is typically the correct way to go. It's faster and it's
the right tool for the job.

On the flip side, you'll lose a lot of the framework laid out by the
PageHandler (which is quite a bit)..it's typically pretty obvious if you
need ASP.NET pages or not...
