ASP.NET directives are instructions to specify optional settings, such as registering a custom
control and page language. These settings describe how the web forms . aspx or user controls . ascx
pages are processed by the .Net framework.

The syntax for declaring a directive is:

<%@ directive_name attribute=value [attribute=value] %>

In this section, we will just introduce the ASP.NET directives and we will use most of these directives
throughout the tutorials.

The Application Directive


The Application directive defines application-specific attributes. It is provided at the top of the
global.aspx file.

The basic syntax of Application directive is:

<%@ Application Language="C#" %>

The attributes of the Application directive are:

Attributes Description

Inherits The name of the class from which to inherit.

Description The text description of the application. Parsers and compilers


ignore this.

Language The language used in code blocks.

The Assembly Directive


The Assembly directive links an assembly to the page or the application at parse time. This could
appear either in the global.asax file for application-wide linking, in the page file, a user control file
for linking to a page or user control.

The basic syntax of Assembly directive is:

<%@ Assembly Name ="myassembly" %>

The attributes of the Assembly directive are:

Attributes Description

Name The name of the assembly to be linked.

Src The path to the source file to be linked and compiled dynamically.

The Control Directive


The control directive is used with the user controls and appears in the user control . ascx files.

The basic syntax of Control directive is:


<%@ Control Language="C#" EnableViewState="false" %>

The attributes of the Control directive are:

Attributes Description

AutoEventWireup The Boolean value that enables or disables automatic association


of events to handlers.

ClassName The file name for the control.

Debug The Boolean value that enables or disables compiling with debug
symbols.

Description The text description of the control page, ignored by compiler.

EnableViewState The Boolean value that indicates whether view state is maintained
across page requests.

Explicit For VB language, tells the compiler to use option explicit mode.

Inherits The class from which the control page inherits.

Language The language for code and script.

Src The filename for the code-behind class.

Strict For VB language, tells the compiler to use the option strict mode.

The Implements Directive


The Implement directive indicates that the web page, master page or user control page must
implement the specified .Net framework interface.

The basic syntax for implements directive is:

<%@ Implements Interface="interface_name" %>

The Import Directive


The Import directive imports a namespace into a web page, user control page of application. If the
Import directive is specified in the global.asax file, then it is applied to the entire application. If it is
in a page of user control page, then it is applied to that page or control.

The basic syntax for import directive is:

<%@ namespace="System.Drawing" %>

The Master Directive


The Master directive specifies a page file as being the mater page.

The basic syntax of sample MasterPage directive is:

<%@ MasterPage Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="SiteMater.master.cs"


Inherits="SiteMaster" %>

The MasterType Directive


The MasterType directive assigns a class name to the Master property of a page, to make it
strongly typed.
The basic syntax of MasterType directive is:

<%@ MasterType attribute="value"[attribute="value" ...] %>

The OutputCache Directive


The OutputCache directive controls the output caching policies of a web page or a user control.

The basic syntax of OutputCache directive is:

<%@ OutputCache Duration="15" VaryByParam="None" %>

The Page Directive


The Page directive defines the attributes specific to the page file for the page parser and the
compiler.

The basic syntax of Page directive is:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs"


Inherits="_Default" Trace="true" %>

The attributes of the Page directive are:

Attributes Description

AutoEventWireup The Boolean value that enables or disables page events that are
being automatically bound to methods; for example, Page_Load.

Buffer The Boolean value that enables or disables HTTP response


buffering.

ClassName The class name for the page.

ClientTarget The browser for which the server controls should render content.

CodeFile The name of the code behind file.

Debug The Boolean value that enables or disables compilation with


debug symbols.

Description The text description of the page, ignored by the parser.

EnableSessionState It enables, disables, or makes session state read-only.

EnableViewState The Boolean value that enables or disables view state across page
requests.

ErrorPage URL for redirection if an unhandled page exception occurs.

Inherits The name of the code behind or other class.

Language The programming language for code.

Src The file name of the code behind class.

Trace It enables or disables tracing.

TraceMode It indicates how trace messages are displayed, and sorted by time
or category.

Transaction It indicates if transactions are supported.

ValidateRequest The Boolean value that indicates whether all input data is
validated against a hardcoded list of values.
The PreviousPageType Directive
The PreviousPageType directive assigns a class to a page, so that the page is strongly typed.

The basic syntax for a sample PreviousPagetype directive is:

<%@ PreviousPageType attribute="value"[attribute="value" ...] %>

The Reference Directive


The Reference directive indicates that another page or user control should be compiled and linked
to the current page.

The basic syntax of Reference directive is:

<%@ Reference Page ="somepage.aspx" %>

The Register Directive


The Register derivative is used for registering the custom server controls and user controls.

The basic syntax of Register directive is:

<%@ Register Src="~/footer.ascx" TagName="footer" TagPrefix="Tfooter" %>
