ASP.NET / C# Page Title

OK I know this is a stupid question and I really don't know what or how to search for this problem. The problem is that I am storing the page Title values into database and then retrieving the values from database and assigning that title to the page using this piece of code this.Title = pageTitle; and it is rendering as following

    <head><title>
          page title here
    </title>

but my manager wants me to make it render as following

    <head><title>page title here</title>

I don't have any idea what to search or how to do it :( I am using ASP.NET 4 and C# 4 over IIS 6 and Windows Server 2003 (SQL Server 2008 R2 if that helps)

EDIT: I have tried

     <head><title><asp:Literal ID="ltrlMasterTitle" runat="server" Text=""</asp:Literal></title>

And setting it to my desired value using the following code

    Literal lblMasterTitle = (Literal)this.Page.Master.FindControl("lblMasterTitle");
    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(pageTitle))
        lblMasterTitle.Text = pageTitle;

but it also renders the same way. PS: I tried to use the solution suggested by Jonathan Hanson but I couldn't figure out the transfer of data between master page and the child page :/

ANOTHER EDIT: I have tried the method suggested in Jonathan Hanson's link but that also render the same o.O

here is my answer so that anyone having this kind of stupid situation can gain some wisdom from my experience, after banging my head to the wall for a week I think this cannot be accomplished.

Why not just use a literal control?

    Literal ltPageTitle = (Literal)Master.FindControl("ltPageTitle"); // If the literal is on a master page 
    // Literal ltPageTitle = (Literal)Page.FindControl("ltPageTitle"); 
    ltPageTitle.Text = "Title"; // Where Title is the title you want for the page

This even gives you extra functionality such as using a database record to name your page or whatever else you can think of.

If you are using master page, try this:

In the master page, go to the head and put:

<head runat="server" id="yourHead">
       <asp:ContentPlaceHolder runat="server" id="holderHead"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
       <title>Your Title</title>
</head>

Now, in the other pages html code put this:

<asp:Content ID="content" ContentPlaceHolderID="holderHead" runat="Server">
   <title>Your Title - Contact</title>
</asp:Content>

It worked for me.

Ps:. Sorry for my bad english!

You can write in page_load like

this.Page.Title = YourTitle;

One option would be to use an embeded code-block like this:

<head><title><%=PageTitle%></title>

Then in your code behind:

public String PageTitle
{
  get;
  set;
}

then...

PageTitle = pageTitle;

That should do the trick--albeit kind of ugly. Then again, that is what managers get for micromanaging stupid crap like this.
