Scenario
I have an application using asp.net Master Pages in which I would like to repeat some content at
the top and bottom of a page. Currently i use something like this:
Master Page
<html>
<body>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="
Foo" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
<!-- page content -->
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="Bar" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</body>
</html>
Content Page
<asp:Content ID="Top" ContentPlaceHolderID="
Foo" runat="server">
<!-- content -->
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Bottom" ContentPlaceHolderID="Bar" runat="server">
<!-- content repeated -->
</asp:Content>
Maintenance
As you know, repeating things in code is usually not good. It creates maintenance problems.
The following is what I would like to do but will obviously not work because of
the repeated id attribute:
Master Page
<html>
<body>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="
Foo" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
<!-- page content -->
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="
Foo" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</body>
</html>
Content Page
<asp:Content ID="Top" ContentPlaceHolderID="
Foo" runat="server">
<!-- content (no repetition) -->
</asp:Content>
Possible?
Is there a way to do this using asp.net webforms?
The solution does not necessarily have to resemble
the above content, it just needs to work
the same way.
Notes
I am using asp.net 3.0 in Visual Studio 2008
