Hello,

I am searching for a way to generate automatically from codebehind the
<!Doctype....> for asp.net pages using .net 3.5 c# and vs2008.
Subidiary question: if I do a server transfert in my codebehind, do I need
any Doctype or html tags in the page ?

Thanks
CS
 
Hi CS,

As for the DocType, a simple way to set it via codebehind is declare an
ASP.NET LIteral control in aspx template so that you can assign the doc
type string via Literal control's Text property e.g.


=========aspx===============
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs"
Inherits="_Default" %>


<asp:literal runat="server" id="dt"></asp:literal>


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">

==============code behind=========

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.dt.Text= "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN\"
\"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\">";

}
======================

Alexey also provided an article which mentioned overriding pages' render
method to write the doctype(or any other output content).

For the subidiary question " if I do a server transfert in my codebehind,
do I need any Doctype or html tags in the page ?", I'm not very sure what
is the exact things you want to do, would you provide some further
description on this? Are you performing some server-side redirection like
Server.Transfer?

Hi Steven,

Thanks, your solution seems good.
Do you know a way to detect in codebehind if DocType is set or not in the
current aspx ?

For subs question, Yes I am doing a Server.Transfer from a std Default.aspx
to a std aspx page.

Thanks again.
CS

Render Method ?

You can override the Render method to put new Doctype to the output

Here's an example
http://www.asp-php.net/scripts/asp.net/aspnet-xhtml.php?page=2
 
Thanks for your reply CS,

If you just do the Server.Transfer, the new page will got through all the
page processing stages and if Doctype originally exists, it will also be
rendered.

For the new question about "how to detect if Doctype exists before render",
I think this is quite limited because the DocType is only stored in aspx
template file which is loaded the rendering stage.

I have performed some further test on this. Actually, for the "DocType"
section, the ASP.NET page will generate an Literalcontrol which used to
contains the html at the begining of the aspx template file. However, the
LiteralControl's Text content is not populated before rendering(I've tried
access it and print its content). therefore, I think so far for
manipulating doctype, the following approaches should be the reasonable
ones:

** manually put a Literal control in page template to set the doctype

** use Render method to manipulate it.

If you have any other consideration, welcome to post here.
