@ MasterType
ASP.NET Syntax ASP.NET Page Syntax Page Directives
.NET Framework version 2.0
Provides a way to create a strongly typed reference to the ASP.NET master page when the master page is accessed from the Master property.
<%@ MasterType attribute = "value" [ attribute = "value" ... ] %>
Attributes
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| TypeName | Specifies the type name for the master page. |
| VirtualPath | Specifies the path to the file that generates the strong type. |
Remarks
The @ MasterType directive is used to set the strong type for the master page, as accessed through the Page.Master property.
NOTE: if VirtualPath is not defined, the type must exist in one of the currently linked assemblies, such as App_Bin or App_Code.
If both attributes, TypeName and VirtualPath, are defined, the @ MasterType directive will fail.
Syntax Example
The following code example demonstrates how to set the virtual path to an ASP.NET master page.
<%@ MasterType VirtualPath = "~/masters/SourcePage.master�" %>
