Append text to title

General
I'm trying to add some extra text to the title for some of my pages using a .NET UserControl.

My template structure looks like this:

MasterpageTemplate
PageTemplate

My MasterpageTemplate has this code for setting the page Title:
```
<head runat="server>
<title>
<umbraco:Item runat="server" field="pageName" /> - <umbraco:Item runat="server" field="siteName" recursive="true" />
</title>
</head>
```
I use this to change the title in my UserControl:
```
Page.Title = "My Page Title";
```
I think this actually works - BUT the <umbraco:Item /> overwrites my title. When i use the following code in my MasterPageTemplate the above code does work:
```
<head runat="server>
<title></title>
</head>
```
What I want is to add the <umbraco:Item /> to my existing Title (wish is added by my UserControl first), exampel "My Page Title, *pageName* - *siteName*".
How do I do this?

You can read the umbraco values directly in your user control using the API or uQuery.

Then you could just do (pseudo code)
```
Page.Title = umbracoValue1 + umbracoValue2 + "My Page Title";
```

Sounds like what I'm looking for. Do you have any example or documentation I can read about reading umbraco values?

Hi,

Some documentation here http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/api-cheatsheet/working-with-the-nodefactory

Or the Umbraco TV API video is good too.

You can also use uComponents uQuery http://ucomponents.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=uQuery
