Using Header Property (Meta Content) in ASP.NET
Introduction
We can programmatically change the Title or Cascading Style Sheet rules included in a Master Page, and then we can use the Page.Header property. This property returns an object that implements the IPageHeader interface. This interface has the following two properties:

- StyleSheet
- Title
For example, the
page given below uses the SimpleMaster.master Master Page. It changes the Title

In above code Page.Header property will return the server-side<head> tag contained in the Master Page. We can cast the object returned by this property to an HTMLHead control. For example, in above page modifies the Master Page <meta> tags. Tags are used by search engines when indexes the page. So, if we need to get higher rank in search then have to carefully write the tags.
Remember that the Page_Load() method in above example creates two HtmlMeta controls. The first control represents a Meta Description tag and the second control represents a Meta Keywords tag. Both HtmlMeta controls are added to the HtmlHead control's Controls collection. When the page is rendered, the following tags are added to the <head> tag:
