Loading pages in IFRAME dynamically from codebehind - ASP.NET
Click here for a Video version of this Article
Most of us who develop Web Applications would have used an IFRAME during some stage of our lives. IFRAME's are an easy way by which you can
embed another page within your original page such that you can show some important information like Stock position/Weather from another site
without worrying about the changes happening to that site and updating the same. The Frame can also be used to show another page from your
own application.
ASP.NET also provides the option to have an IFRAME in our ASPX Pages. It can be with/without the "runat=server" attribute and does serve the
purpose of embedding the page. The source for the frame can be set as follows:-

Loading pages in IFRAME dynamically from codebehind - ASP.NET http://geekswithblogs.net/ranganh/archive/2005/04/25/37635.aspx
<IFRAME id="frame1" src="SourcePage.extension / URL of the external Site" scrolling="auto">

</IFRAME>
However, in practical scenarios, we may want to load the page dynamically. In other words, we may want to specify the "src" attribute (the page
which we want to show), dynamically. There is no straight forward way to do that and even if you add a "runat=server" attribute to it (though
required in the work around provided below), you cannot access the "src" property directly.
The workaround to do that is as follows:-
1. Specify the "runat=server" attribute as follows in the ASPX Page:-
<IFRAME id="frame1" scrolling="auto" runat="server">

</IFRAME>
2. In the codebehind, you may need to declare a HtmlGenericControl in the control declarations section as follows:-
C#
protected System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl frame1; (not required if working with ASP.NET 2.0, 3.5 i.e. Visual Studio
2005, 2008)
VB.NET
Protected WithEvents frame1 As System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl (not required if working with ASP.NET 2.0, 3.5 i.e.
Visual Studio 2005, 2008)
3. Then, you need to do a findcontrol to identify the control on the page and typecast it as follows:-
C#
HtmlControl frame1 = (HtmlControl)this.FindControl("frame1"); (not required if working with ASP.NET 2.0, 3.5 i.e. Visual Studio 2005,
2008)
2 of 33 10/7/2010 6:19 PM
VB.NET
Dim frame1 As HtmlControl = CType(Me.FindControl("frame1"), HtmlControl) (not required if working with ASP.NET 2.0, 3.5 i.e. Visual
Studio 2005, 2008)
Note: You can have different name for the Generic Control you define in the code behind, but for ease I keep both the same. The "frame1" referred
in Find Control is the ID as declared in the ASPX Page.
4. Thereafter, you will be able to access the src property as follows:-
C#
frame1.Attributes["src"] = "http://www.live.com" ;
VB.NET
frame1.Attributes("src") = "http://www.live.com" ;
NOTE: Thanks PhOeNiX for providing the VB.NET equivalent. I have added the same now.
As you can see though I have hard-coded the URL you can assign it dynamically based on a condition or any other business logic.
This serves the purpose of dynamically loading the page in the IFRAME.

You can change this dynamically in the code behind as you can see

Excellent. Hard to believe something that should be so easy to do is difficult in ASP.Net. Why
wouldn't the src be an attribute that ASP.Net would recognize or accept adding.

Aspx file has: <iframe runat="server" id="image1" name="image1" src="" height="" width="">

C# file has:
HtmlControl frame1 = (HtmlControl)this.FindControl("FormArea");
frame1.Attributes["src"] = "~/images/Test.gif";
frame1.Attributes["height"] = "100%";
Thanks in advance.

That method also works but if you need to place two iframes on the same page and need them
in a certain spot, it will not work. The label method will stack them on top of each other.

If you use MasterPage, the FindControl() has to be overridden to be recursive.

I have a panel which contains the Iframe in the content area of the master page:
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="PageContentPlaceHolder" Runat="Server">

<asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" Width="100%" Height="100%">
<iframe runat=server id="_content" name="_content" marginheight =0 marginwidth
=0></iframe>
</asp:Panel>
</asp:Content>
I can access the Iframe by using:
Dim frame1 As HtmlControl = CType(Me.Panel1.FindControl("_content"), HtmlControl). This way

I can send content there from a menu in the master page, by using a url= querystring:
frame1.Attributes("src") = ResolveUrl(Request.QueryString("url"))
However, I have 2 problems:
1) Mouseover on my TreeView menu, in the master page, causes the Iframe to redraw every
time = very bad flickering.
2) I want to set the size of the Iframe to the size of the page it contains (within limits). I can
set it to hard-coded values, but '100%' doesn't work at all.
i.e. frame1.Attributes("width") = "1000px" works but frame1.Attributes("width") = "100%"

doesn't!
Does anyone have any solution for either of these problems?

Ray, maybe for your second problem you should use style for setting your page width. I haven't
tried it but it appears in my property list. I would write it like this:
frame1.Attributes("style")="width:100%"
Hope it works

I have a page that is like a catalog. I need to load the item list from an iframe, and this works
fine, but my problem is that I need to send a parameter from the iframe, to the parent page, so
I can show the ID Card of the item that was clicked in the iframe. This means that I have to find

works great! here's a version i have modified that adds the entire iframe to the page
dynamically, in case anyone is interested. you can run this script over and over again to add
many iframes:
On the .aspx page, you'll need a placeholder(s) where the iframe(s) will be rendered:
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="theFrameHolder" runat="server" />
Then in the code behind, create and add the iframe to the placeholder:
HtmlControl frame1 = new System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl("iframe");

frame1.Attributes["src"] = "http://search.msn.com";
frame1.Attributes["frameborder"] = "1";
frame1.Attributes["scrolling"] = "auto";
theFrameHolder.Controls.Add(frame1);

this is a way to dynamically set the height depending on the page content:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function iFrameHeight() {
var h = 0;
if ( !document.all ) {
h = document.getElementById('iframe').contentDocument.height;
document.getElementById('iframe').style.height = h + 70 + 'px';
} else if( document.all ) {
h = document.frames('iframe').document.body.scrollHeight;
document.all.blockrandom.style.height = h + 30 + 'px';
}
}
</script>
<iframe id="iframe"
name="iframe"
src=""
width="100%"
height="500"
scrolling="auto"
frameborder="0"
class="wrapper"
allowTransparency="true"
runat="server"
>
This option will not work correctly. Unfortunately, your browser does not support Inline Frames
</iframe>
20 of 33 10/7/2010 6:19 PM
however because of the mix of javascript & runat=server, you'll also need this
(c#)
iframe.Attributes.Add("onload", "iFrameHeight();");
in the Page_Load or similar.

I had the same problem as you with the Object reference not set to an instance of an object
error. Here is what I did to get around that.
When you do the Protected WithEvents frame1... and then try to dim frame1 your get a problem
- frame1 is already declared as 'Protected Dim with events... so you have to rename it. I did
with MyFrame. This though led to the object error.
Therefore, take out the Dim line altogether. Then in a click event for something like a Link
Button just put the line..
Me.frame1.Attributes("srd") = "http://whatever.com"
Note that the url must be enclosed in double quotes or you will get an http is not declared
problem.
This is what did it for me.

Hi,
I have 2 pages embedded in 2 iframes in my aspx page.
When I do a print preview, the content on the frame does not continue into the next page.
Does print only print one frame per page?
How can i make the frame to continue to the next page? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!!!

This code is great and easy to use... thanks... it works!!!!
"On the .aspx page, you'll need a placeholder(s) where the iframe(s) will be rendered:
<asp:PlaceHolder ID="theFrameHolder" runat="server" />
Then in the code behind, create and add the iframe to the placeholder:
HtmlControl frame1 = new System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl("iframe");

frame1.Attributes["src"] = "http://search.msn.com";
frame1.Attributes["frameborder"] = "1";
frame1.Attributes["scrolling"] = "auto";

theFrameHolder.Controls.Add(frame1); "

I am able to directly access the "src" property of the IFrame directly, without the requirement of
the workaround provided here! But it's definitely a good information

Thanks to all of you on Excellent Job.

I want to use IFrame within a Update Panel of Atlas. But when different page loads it refresh
the page. I am using asp.net Menu. On click of menu it loads the different page. Is it possible
in Iframe it loads another page without refresh

Left by faouzi yassine at 4/17/2007 5:05 AM
Or you can do this :

<iframe id = "TreeTD" height="690px" src="<%=siteUrl%>" width="100%" frameborder =
'0'></iframe>
siteUrl is a variable of your code behind

Have just started a rewrite of some v v nasty code and thought I'd start by seeing if there was a
better way to do this then we used. We had a placeholder and then wrote the html to it, I'm not
a fan but this is a much better way, good work.

Hi thx U save me a lot of searching

HtmlControl frame1 = (HtmlControl)this.FindControl("frame1") returns null. And declaring it in

code behind as "frame1" same as the iframe id which is "frame1" gives an error. You cannot
declare the same id for the same control on the same page.. literally, the code behind page and
the source code page are the same. I tried using
29 of 33 10/7/2010 6:19 PM
this.frame1.Attributes["src"] = //url;
this worked for me. No other declaration, because the page already has the frame1 control on
it.

Left by Seth at 9/26/2007 7:07 AM
Thanks, the code works great!
My problem is that I do not want the URL of the site in the iFrame to show up in the client-side
source code.
In other words, the src attribute for the iframe should be blank, or otherwise obfuscated.
Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

Interesting Article.
It works on the SAME ASPX page. Major issue however is that it causes all Internet Browsers to
blink it seems when an update occurs. (Internet Explorer 6.x, Internet Explorer 7.x, Firefox 2.x,
Netscape 9.x, and Opera 9.x!)
I need to update another iFrame ONLY when the ASPX page that automatically determines there
is a change (a newer picture, for example) that needs to update the other iFrame.
I have 2 asp pages that will do this now BUT ONLY in Internet Explorer 6 or Internet Explorer 7
there is a VERY annoying blink every time the page updates. Don't have this issue in these
Internet Browsers Firefox, Netscape, or Opera.
Instead of checking for the update on the web page and updating the web page every say 30
seconds, only update when a change to the page occurs. So if the highest picture to be shown
on a page is the same as the last time, don't update the iFrame.
I have all the logic that is needed EXCEPT for the call to update the other frame!
I have these 3 ASPX pages:
1. Driver ASPX file that builds the layout of the page with different iFrame ID's.
- Passes iFrame Name to Parser ASPX file.
2. Parser ASPX file that checks to see if there have been any changes that need to be handled.
- Uses standard META tag Refresh to do the looping and cookies to manage the variables.
3. Display ASPX file which shows the information.
The Parser ASPX file is what is not currently able to handle the reference to the existing iFrame
which was created by the Driver ASPX file.
Perhaps this will better explain what I need to do:

Loading pages in IFRAME dynamically from codebehind - ASP.NET

Click here for a Video version of this Article

<IFRAME id="frame1" src="SourcePage.extension / URL of the external Site" scrolling="auto">

The workaround to do that is as follows:-

1. Specify the "runat=server" attribute as follows in the ASPX Page:-

<IFRAME id="frame1" scrolling="auto" runat="server">

4. Thereafter, you will be able to access the src property as follows:-
