MasterPages - ContentPlacehol der to replace Frames?

This stuff is new to me except for frames.

I can't see how Master pages can provide a sizable splitter that frames
can do and very easly fill each frame with an untouched aspx form.

It's getting harder to do simple things in my opinon. I understand the
idea behind master pages and it's great but give me a break.

I suppose i'm having a hard time not having any body,form, head tags
within a aspx doc that has the masterpagefile directive. So I don't
have a background image anymore, it's just a royal pain in the ***!

So I have to convert my existing aspx pages to be content compatible
but I loose allot of formating. I know you can use frames still but
VS2005 will not allow you to view the html page with frames anymore,
which sucks.

Hope I'm not alone feeling fustrated. If anyone has any good examples
please let me know, the help I've found blows, it's to simplistic.

Before I forget, when you see the content place holder on your content
page it's really strange to have controls outside it though the
controls tags are actually nested within the content tags in the source
view. Make the whole view designer look really messed up.

Later.

Hi, I am looking for a good - easy to comprehend little CMS application for my "beginners" asp.net 2.0 site. It must be able to use Access as the database (only a couple of people will be posting and editing news articles). I use masterpages so it needs to be able to publish content in the ContentPlaceholder server controls.

Hi, I've been struggling with this one for a couple of hours without much joy. Basically, I've got a set of nested masterpages (3 as it happens). I'm dynamically generating a new page in code and want to be able to populate the ContentPlaceholders of the inner-most masterpage at run-time.

Hi everyone, I'm slowly going mad with Masterpages and the FindControl. After a couple days of figuring out how to use the FindControl command from within a Masterpage, I still can't explain why this code does not function. As you can see if you compile it with 2005, clicking "Button" will achieve the desired result of displaying the contents of the textbox, however the test(); function called from Page_Load does not do anything. ...

Hello, I have created some pages in the (old) Atlas pages and migrated to AJAX version. After the update I noticed that any page containing ASP.NET AJAX won't compile anymore. Even if the same tags and properties are used in a page without a masterpage. Does anyone shares this exprerience with me or does anyone knows an answer? For the time being, I copy-pased the headings in my masterpage to the clield pages.

I have two masterpages in a web application. One is used for the login and logout pages. The other is used for all other pages in the application.

Everything else is exactly the same. The issue is that the login/logout...

Right now the header of my master page contains all of the CSS styles for all of the pages that might be loaded in my ContentPlaceHolder. The problem is that my <styletag is getting too large to manage. I have 300 lines of styles in my masterpage and I don't need all of this for every page -- somehow this can't be a smart way of managing styles. How do I programmatically apply styles in my MasterPage based on the ContentPlaceHolder...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
