Hi newsgroup,

could someone please tell how to change the title of a
Web Form window through VB.NET code?

In VB 6 I would write Me.Caption="title",
and what is it in VB.NET??

Thanks for your help

Regards,
Frank
 
Look through the properties - find Text and see the value "Form1" - guess
what to do !

Me.Text="Title" - I would try that !

Hi Keld,

I'm afraid Me.Text=.. is impossible. Text is not a property of Me
in this context.

Try this :-

In the HEAD section of the ASP.NET page (.aspx) define the title as a server
side control:

<TITLE ID=PageTitle RUNAT=server></TITLE>

.... and in the code-behind (.aspx.vb) or inline code, define ...

Protected PageTitle As New HtmlGenericControl

.... and set the title from anywhere in the code as ...

Me.PageTitle.InnerText = "Hello World"

HTH,

Click to expand...

In that case you'll have to tell us what the context is, as a form
definitely has a Text property, inherited from Control.
 
Make the <title> as a server side tag (<title runat="server">). add a HTML Generic Control in code behind with same identity of Title.

Now set the value at code behind. thats it.

try this :-

side control:

<TITLE ID=PageTitle RUNAT=server></TITLE>

.... and in the code-behind (.aspx.vb) or inline code, define ...
