Is there a way to create meta tags like this and save those meta tags in the page header permanently ?

Other wise we have to save the meta tag(meta tag name & content) somewhere(in a database, xml file, etc..) and bind to page header in the page load. Isn't it?

Hi,

This is useful...

But because I used <%=Something %> code block in header, I getting error like

"The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. <% ... %>). "

So, I am searched to another method.

I found one... But, this can set new value to already exist tags.

But I don't sure if this is a good method because the function each time searching for the wanted meta tag.

---------------------------------

Public Shared Sub MetaTag(ByVal thisPage As Page, ByVal name As String, ByVal content As String)

Dim meta As New HtmlMeta

' Loop through all the controls in the Header

For Each ctrl As Control In thisPage.Header.Controls

' Check if the control is a Meta Tag

If TypeOf ctrl Is HtmlMeta Then

' Get the Meta Tag and check if the name is the same

meta = DirectCast(ctrl, HtmlMeta)

If name.Equals(meta.Name, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) Then

' Since the Meta Tag already exists, simply update and exit

meta.Content = content

Return

End If

End If

Next

End Sub
