The Page title web part displays the title on the page. The following illustration shows a Page title web part for a page displayed in a modal dialog.

Page Title

Page Title

When the Page title web part is not connected to another web part on the page, it will display the value defined for the PageTitle property of the page definition in the AOT. Page definitions are found in the Web > Web Files > Page Definitions node of the AOT. Refer to How to: Import Pages into the AOT for information about how to add an Enterprise Portal page to the AOT.

When the Page title web part is connected to a User Control web part, it uses the value of the Label property of the managed content item for the User Control in the AOT and the current provider context to create a page title to display. The Managed content items are found in the Web > Web Content > Managed node of the AOT.

In the code for the User Control, you can manually set the value to be passed as the AxPageTitle object, and control whether the current context is included. The following code example shows how to set the page title and control whether the context is included.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ITitleProvider titleProvider = AxBaseWebPart.GetWebpart(this) as ITitleProvider;

    // Specify the title to pass as the AxPageTitle
    titleProvider.Caption = "Page title goes here";

    // Do not include the context in the title
    titleProvider.ShowContext = false;
}

Important

Make sure that you have created the web part connection between the User Control web part and the Page title web part. Without this connection, the AxPageTitle will not be passed from the User Control to the Page title.
