How about thinking just a bit, could you? :-)

It will be better if you explain why you need it

i want to set the iframe height at runtime means acc. to content window's size

bbirajdar 15-Apr-13 3:28am

Then set it as a percentage in the iframe style tag.. You dont need to know the actual height of window then

what my need is,if i open larger page then it should be adjust in iframe and if i open shorter page,then automatically iframe height should be resized according to page

you would do that with javascript, not server side code. You can find a possible solution here:

Yes, actually, you can. You can get the size of the browser window using javascript like this, and code accordingly.

You can find a number of possible solutions here In this stack overflow article.

And while there seems to be no direct way to get this to codebehind, you can always send it to the server using AJAX - if you really need to have that information in your server side code (I have no idea why you would). A simple AJAX tutorial can be found here.

@Surgey: Yes, you're an awesome coder. You clearly know more then the rest of us. So when people like you give answers like this, obviously just not caring enough to give a real answer, I find it to be very frustrating. Why not just give the guy a little real information, like I just did, so he can learn?

So what would you do in the event the browser window is being resized constantly?

The bottom line is that the question doesn't make any real sense as serv-erside code should not be called during a resize event in a client browser. Imagine your server being pummeled by 5,000 clients all resizing their windows at the same time. It's just not practical for the server-side code to give a rats ass what shape the browser window is.

I completely agree. I didn't say that you SHOULD do it, just that you can. And just because I can't imagine why you would want to do such a thing, that doesn't mean that someone else doesn't have an awesome idea, and is in the process of amazing us all.

Besides that, I did add above that you wouldn't do that with server side code, that you would instead do it with javascript. I even posted a link to an example.

This guy just needs to lean about all this, and come to understand what to use for what, and when. So why not give him some real information?

HAHAHAHAHA!!! In a forum question?? VERY rarely does that ever happen. Now, if he put up a blog post with the solution...

You cannot get it. No way. The whole idea is wrong; and you would easily understand it if you tried to think at it just a bit.

The height of the page is defined by a number of factors totally irrelevant to the server-side processing. Moreover, it is not known even when the page is rendered. Here is why: first of all, the height depends on the width of the browser window, which can be changed anytime by the user.
