Master Page

Master pages in web development are used to develop a template, which is inherited by webpages to follow the same design theme and to share the common and global functionality.

In M# master pages are managed in project.cs file in #Model project as shown below:

using MSharp;

namespace App
{
    public class Project : MSharp.Project
    {
        public Project()
        {
            SqlDialect(MSharp.SqlDialect.MSSQL);

            Name("AppSample").SolutionFile("AppSample.sln");

            Role("Local.Request");
            Role("Anonymous");
            Role("Admin").SkipQueryStringSecurity();

            Layout("Front end").AjaxRedirect().Default().VirtualPath("~/Views/Layouts/AdminDefault.cshtml");
            Layout("Blank").AjaxRedirect().VirtualPath("~/Views/Layouts/Blank.cshtml");
            Layout("Front end Modal").Modal().VirtualPath("~/Views/Layouts/AdminDefault.Modal.cshtml");

            PageSetting("LeftMenu");
            PageSetting("SubMenu");
            PageSetting("TopMenu");

            AutoTask("Clean old temp uploads").Every(10, TimeUnit.Minute)
                .Run("await Olive.Mvc.FileUploadService.DeleteTempFiles(olderThan: 1.Hours());");
        }
    }
}

You can add more master pages as required by using Layout() method. M# creates three types of master pages when a new project is created in M#.

• Front end layout is used to develop Standard pages
• Front end Modal layout is used to develop Modal / popup pages which are discussed in another lesson of this chapter.
• Blank layout is used to develop a page with a clean stype

You can choose one of the these master pages when you created a SubPage as shown in the code below:

using MSharp;

namespace SampleEntity
{
    class EnterPage : SubPage<SampleEntityPage>
    {
        public EnterPage()
        {
            Layout(Layouts.AdminDefault);

            // Add related modules
        }
    }
}
