The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How do I access a shared property on a MasterPage on other pages?

Asked by Anders-Leet in Active Server Pages (ASP), Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Tags: ,

I have a web site that I am developing that uses a MasterPage.  On my layout I have a navigation bar that highlights the the current page, as long as the page's link on the bar has an id of "current".  My aim is to have a programmatic solution to set the appropriate link's id to current when changing pages.  I got a suggestion to do a property on the MasterPage, but I can only access it on my MasterPage's  backend.  Code snippet has the section on the MasterPage I am referring to, as well as its backend and a content page.
