Hi there,

Is there a way to change the layout file on the fly through code? I have a custom module that has a List and a Details view. For each I would like to use a different Layout file which I need to assign dynamically. I don't necessarily have to do it from my custom  module, anywhere in Global.asax or Default.apsx is fine as well.

Can this be done?

Subscribe to Notifications.Standard.Page.Loaded

Set the template like this:
Dynamicweb.Frontend.PageView.Current.Page.Value("PageLayout") = "Designs/Dynamicweb/MainAlt.html"

You can also add a querystring parameter: &LayoutTemplate=Designs/Dynamicweb/MainAlt.html

I've moved around in the code so the example with the notification will work after next service release.
