Introduction: In previous articles i explained How to get current page URL/Address in asp.net and How to get browser name,version,type, operating system and How to Convert Rupees,Currency or Numbers to Words and Get age in years,months,days,hours and seconds from DOB and Get city, state and country based on zip code using Google map API and How to enable JavaScript. In this article i will explain How to add meta description,meta keywords tags from code behind in asp.net(C#, VB).
Description: We all know how to add Meta tags like Meta Description, Meta Keywords in the <HEAD> tag. But sometimes it is required to add Meta tags like Meta Description, Meta Keywords etc dynamically from code behind file. E.g. in case of Content pages where there is no <Head> tag and if we add those Meta tags in the Master page then they will be same for all the Content pages.
But for good SEO(Search engine optimization) Meta tags like Meta Description, Meta Keywords must be unique and relevant to content of the page. So the solution is to add unique and relevant Meta tags on the Page Load event on the each content pages as demonstrated in the code below:
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
imports System.Web.UI.HtmlControls
Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

Implementation: Let's check it out by an example
C#.NET Code to add meta description,meta keywords tags from code behind
- In the code behind file(.aspx.cs) write the code on Page load event as:
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//adding Page Title dynamically
Page.Title = "write
your page Title here";
//adding meta description
dynamically
HtmlMeta
metaDesc = new HtmlMeta();
metaDesc.Name = "description";
metaDesc.Content = "Write
your Meta Description here";
Page.Header.Controls.Add(metaDesc);
//adding meta keywords dynamically
HtmlMeta
metakeyWord = new HtmlMeta();
metakeyWord.Name = "keywords";
metakeyWord.Content = "Write
your Meta Keywords here";
Page.Header.Controls.Add(metakeyWord);
}
VB.NET Code
- In the code behind file(.aspx.vb) write the code on Page load event as:
imports System.Web.UI.HtmlControls
Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
'adding Page Title dynamically
Page.Title = "write
your page Title here"
'adding meta description dynamically
Dim metaDesc As New HtmlMeta()
metaDesc.Name = "description"
metaDesc.Content = "Write
your Meta Description here"
Page.Header.Controls.Add(metaDesc)
'adding meta keywords dynamically
