Master page with Searchbox

Consider a master page with a search functionality and other number of content pages derived from that master page, so that searchbox appears in all pages. If you want to display a search results in Search.aspx page no matter where you are( in other content pages),add this code:

In MasterPage.cs:

Protected void search_button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

//redirect textbox's value to search.aspx page

Response.Redirect(@"~/search.aspx?q=" + Server.UrlEncode(txtSearch.Text));

}

In Search.aspx.cs:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

//read the master page's redirected value

string str = Request.QueryString[@"q"];

}
