Hi All,

I did follow the MSDN article (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/
library/ms379585(VS.80).aspx
) for overriding Master Page properties by setting page title and
other Meta information( Keyword and Description) for individual
content page by writing the following line on Page_Load event in
content page

Sub Page_Load()
Master.Page.Header.Title = "Content Title"
Master.Page.Header.Metadata.Add("Keywords", "blah,blah")
Master.Page.Header.Metadata.Add("Description", "blah,blah")
End Sub

But it is giving me the following error:
System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlHead' does not contain a definition for
Metadata

Is there any idea why it is happening as it is clearly written in MSDN
article or any simple workaround for it?

Thanks

Asif

Click to expand...

In Beta 2 Version 2, the Header.Metadata.Add() method was removed from
the framework. This article is out of the date

Check this workaround from http://www.howtoadvice.com/SetMetaTags

//Get the htmlHead your aspx page is using (from the Master page)
//Master page must include the runat server attribute in the head tag:
<head runat="server">
HtmlHead head = (System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlHead)Header;

//Create a htmlMeta object
HtmlMeta meta = new HtmlMeta();

//Specify meta attributes
meta.Attributes.Add("name", "keywords");
meta.Attributes.Add("content", "keyword1, keyword2, keyword3");

// Add the meta object to the htmlhead's control collection
head.Controls.Add(meta);
