SharePoint - Get Properties with OOB Tags

Recently, in my project a need arises to show the site description in header part of the custom master page. Sharepoint provides a tag named “ProjectProperty” to use site properties inside custom master page for user display.

<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId=”PlaceHolderPageTitle” runat=”server”> SharePoint Tags </asp:Content>

Site Title: <SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property=”Title” runat=”server”/>

Site Description : <SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property=”Description” runat=”server”/>

Other SharePoint Properties are listed below which avoids the customization.

<SharePoint:ListProperty Property=”Title” runat=”server”/>

<SharePoint:ListItemProperty Property=”Title” runat=”server”/>

<SharePoint:ListFormPageTitle runat=”server”/>

Place this tag inside the master page or in page layouts and see the changes.
