Hello, all. I'm new to ASP.NET 2.0 and have been using Dreamweaver MX 2004
for about 2 years now and PHP. When I heard ASP.NET 2.0 allows master
pages, I thought that I should give it a try. One of the things I was
wondering about is if it is possible to easily use some of the many
available HTML templates that are on the web for designing a professional
looking website.
In Dreamweaver MX or whatever, I would buy a template and make some minor
changes to the editable regions defined within the template. I didn't have
to really create the webpage, the CSS and page layout and graphics were
already prepared.
Does anyone know if this is possible in ASP.NET 2.0? Are there particular
kinds of templates that I need? Can I easily convert existing templates to
work in ASP.NET 2.0? Can anyone recommend any good websites?
Thanks for all your help.

I would say yes, any canned template can be reused but you need to learn how
to convert it. For example, only the HTML in the body of the canned template
is going to be reused as the prolog and the head for HTML files are written
into the .master file. There are other issues transferring CSS when using
Themes and Skins but its all do-able given the time to learn this new model.
I don't know of any defintive tutorials in the context you are asking about
but the following resources may prove helpful noting many of the documents
that are out there may discuss issues that were present during the beta but
have been changed after 2.0 was RTM.

Thanks for the kind reply.
I printed your suggestions and will read later tonight.
I hope some of these template companies start making/selling templates
specifically for ASP.NET 2.0. That would be nice.

Hello,
In classic ASP, I used to use two include files on each page, one before
and one after the main content, to provide a consistent layout across a
web site. That way I could just change the include files to change the
layout. When I came to ASP.NET, I used user controls to do a similar
thing.
I have just been looking at master pages, and it looks like they do the
same thing. If so, is there any advantage in using them over the...

I have done a fair amount of style editing inline in ASP. I'm now

no effect on the image.

Hi,
I want to use 2 master pages, one for the main part of the site, the other
for the admin pages.
They are quite similar, with many shared elements.
Ideally I would like to have a parent master page, which both of these child
master pages are based on, and in turn the final pages are based on one of
these child master pages.

pages, but not from separate code modules.
I tried doing something like this in my VB code module:

Coming from a Dreamweaver/ASP/PHP background. Planning to use Visual Studio
2008 for a website.
Complete newbie question here (please be gentle!):
Do master pages work similar to Dreamweaver templates in that when the
master page is updated, all the child pages created from the master page are
updated and then they all need to be uploaded to the server? Or do you only
have to upload the master page after an update?
