Hi,

I have a masterpage with a simple asp:Menu
Whenever a certain menuItem is clicked, I have to unload some session variables and reload the page so that the content pages can run their BuildPage methods (which get triggered in the Page_Load.

    protected void MenuItemClick(object sender, MenuEventArgs e)
    {
        Country = null;
        Language = null;
        e.Item.Selected = true;
        switch (((Menu)sender).SelectedItem.Value)
        {
            case "technicalDataSheets": Session["action"] = Actions.tds;
                break;
            case "safetyDataSheets": Session["action"] = Actions.tds;
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }
    }

After the switch something DoPostback like would be needed I guess.
But I don't really know how to do that. Any help?

 hi!

define event in masterpage and handle it in content pages calling BuildPage methods:

*.master.cs:

public event EventHandler SessionVarsChanged;

protected void MenuItemClick(object sender, MenuEventArgs e)
{
        Country = null;
        Language = null;
        e.Item.Selected = true;
        switch (((Menu)sender).SelectedItem.Value)
        {
            case "technicalDataSheets": Session["action"] = Actions.tds;
                break;
            case "safetyDataSheets": Session["action"] = Actions.tds;
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }    

      if (SessionVarsChanged != null)

            SessionVarsChanged(this, EventArgs.Empty);

}

in content pages:

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
    {

        (Master as MyMasterPageType).SessionVarsChanged += new EventHandler(SessionVarsChangedHandler);
    }

    void SessionVarsChangedHandler(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        BuildPage();
    }

or use Server.Transfer() to "reload" whole page.
