Guys when working with modules, can I override PageTitle by editing *.ascx files?

For instance, i have a blog module and module's search page uses home page's title and other meta information by default. However, i want to override default page title. I don't have source code files (e.g *.vb).

So is this possible? If so how? I would appreciate a sample.
Thank you.

Changing the page title from a module can be done by casting a reference to the current page. Typically this is something you would do in the code behind (i.e ascx.vb/ascx.cs) - if you only have an ascx you can try using inline code blocks (<%...%>) e.g.
<%
DotNetNuke.Framework.CDefault tp = (DotNetNuke.Framework.CDefault)this.Page;

tp.Title = "This is my page title";
%>

Yes, i only have access to ASCX. Does using inline code blocks cause any negative impact compared to first method?

no, its fine - lots of people use inline code to inject server control ids into javascript - the main disadvantage is that it encourages spaghetti code -you can read up on inline code @ http://weblogs.asp.net/ahmedmoosa/archive/2010/10/06/embedded-code-and-inline-server-tags.aspx

Cathal, your help is appreciated. A nice chat here, let me expand my question. What if module gets updated regularly by developer, so i upload each new release to my site and to avoid modifying ascx file manually, can I be a smart one and use the code directly in resx files? :)
