Creating a Master and Content Page
A Master page is a special type of ASP.NET page that allows you to share contents, such as graphics, HTML code, and ASP.NET controls, between pages. Master pages are similar to Dynamic Web Templates because they share elements between pages. However, Master pages add the ability to share code. If you have ASP.NET 2.0 available on your Web server, you can take advantage of Master pages. A Master page uses content controls instead of editable regions in a Dynamic Web Template. The content control on the Master page (ContentPlace Holder) maps to the content control on the Content page (Content). After you create a Master page using a template in the New dialog box, you need to save it with the .master file extension. Now, you can create a Content page and link it to a Master page.
