@ PreviousPageType

Provides a way to get strong typing against the previous page, as accessed through the PreviousPage property.

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

Attributes

• TypeName
  Specifies the type name for the previous page.

• VirtualPath
  Specifies the path to the file that generates the strong type.

Remarks

Use the @ PreviousPageType directive to get strong typing against the PreviousPage property. You can use the @ PreviousPageType directive only on a Web Forms page (an .aspx file). If both attributes, TypeName and VirtualPath, are defined, the @ PreviousPageType directive will fail.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to specify the path to a file that generates the strong type.

<%@ PreviousPageType VirtualPath="~/SourcePage.aspx"%>
