Next, update the Web.sitemap file to include a new entry for this lesson. Don't forget to have the newly created page's code-behind class derive from BasePage so that it can utilize this functionality.ДЄfter you have created this content page, your Solution Explorer should look similar to Figure 1.ДЇigure 01: A New Folder and ASP.NET Page Have Been Added to the Project In the Specifying the Title, Meta Tags, and Other HTML Headers in the Master Page tutorial we created a custom base page class named BasePage that automatically set the content page's title (if it was not explicitly assigned). Next, add a content page named Default.aspx to the Admin folder, making sure to bind the new page to the Site.master master page. To illustrate this, create a subfolder named Admin. However, things break down if the content page is in a different folder than the master page.

If the content page is in the root folder (as is About.aspx) everything works as expected because there is an Images subfolder relative to the root folder. You will find that the exact same markup in the master page was sent to the browser. Take a moment to visit About.aspx and view the HTML source sent to the browser. When visiting a content page, the above markup is sent directly to the browser. The src attribute value in the element is a relative URL because it does not start with / or In short, the src attribute value tells the browser to look in the Images subfolder for a file named PoweredByASPNET.gif. The master page file Site.master has an element in the footerContent region with the following markup: Any URL that does not start with a leading forward slash ( /) or a protocol (such as is relative because it is resolved by the browser based on the location of the web page that contains the URL.ДЇor example, our website has an ~/Images/ folder with a single image file, PoweredByASPNET.gif. The Problem with Relative URLsДЄ URL on a web page is said to be a relative URL if the location of the resource it points to is relative to the web page's location in the website's folder structure. In this tutorial we examine the source of this problem as well as workarounds. If the master page contains relative URLs in hyperlinks, images, or other elements, the link will be invalid for content pages that reside in a different folder. One potential issue with placing master and content pages in different folders involves broken URLs. Similarly, you might create a ~/MasterPages/ folder where you place your site's master pages. You can certainly create content pages in subfolders. But there's no reason why the master and content pages must be in the same folder. In all the examples we've seen thus far, the master and content pages have been located in the same folder (the website's root folder). Looks at rebasing URLs via ~ in the declarative syntax and using ResolveUrl and ResolveClientUrl programmatically. For example to prefill the First Name, Last Name, Email address and Phone fields on the sample form the url below can be used.Addresses how URLs in the master page can break due to the master page file being in a different relative directory than the content page.

Additional fields can be prefilled by retrieving the name value for those fields and separating each field and value by using an '&'. Therefore your complete url will be similar to the belowД«. If you would like your form field to be prefilled with the value 'Joe' you will need to add the following to your url Use the input name value to create the query string and add it to the Form's urlДЄ. For example if the input tag has name= 'element_2', you should retrieve element_2.ДЈ. Retrieve the name value for the input tag. Find the form field that you would like to prepopulate and select 'Inspect Element'.Д«. Locate the input name for the form fieldДЄ.

Paste your url in a browser to view your form.Дў.
