Master Pages: Sharing Across Web Servers

What is the recommendation for sharing master pages across IIS Servers? In
our corporation, we have many webservers in different environments (intranet,
extranet, etc). I've done some searching, and it appears as though the
solutions are focused only around one IIS instance, by installing the
controls (master pages) in the GAC. This solution would require me to
install the controls in more than 1 dozen servers each time.... I would think
that this problem would be pretty common in large environments.

Does your enviroment consist of a dozen unique IIS Servers, or a
load-balanced enviroment where 12 servers appear as 1 server?

Hi, I was wondering if some one would be able to help me with this. I am trying to share a session across two servers and I seem to be experiencing some problems. I was wondering if anybody has already tried something like this before and hence be able to provide some guidance in this regard. Any suggestions, pointers or redirections to useful links is welcome. Thanks in advance for your help,

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'm creating an application that has a standard layout for all pages. The information that is displayed in the layout will be dynamic based on the user that is logged in. Thus when a page is browsed to, I need to check to see if the user has logged in or not. Then if they have logged in, I need to pull their information from the database to display in the header. In previous applications, I made use of a base web page that all the...

Hi I've just recently upgraded to VS2005 and started using/learning about the Master Pages. I'd like to know if it is possible to have separate web app projects use the master page(s) from their "parent" site. E.g.: Main site at http://localhost/mainsite/

I have an asp.net 2.0 app that uses a sitemap, Master Page, and has several content pages. While this feature has simplified the process of creating a data-driven site menu, it does seem to have some big restrictions. Namely, maintaining state on the Master Page across all content pages. I simply want to keep track of a key value across all content pages. The only solution I can come up with is using a session variable, which I hate.

Hi I have two applications (both in asp.net 2.0). I want both to have a common company wide look and feel How can I do this using master pages? Also If new applications are added, I want them to have the company wide look and feel, but with the minimum of work? Is this 'do-able'?

Hi all, I have a php/mysql website where people can upload their own graphics for the buttons and background of pages on the website. This used to run on one server, but I have now been asked to set it up on multiple servers. The problem is that when someone uploads a file, how do I distribute it to all of the servers? Should I use php to send it to all of the servers once

I have deployed few Access apps splitting it in Front End and Back End. Our environment uses Win XP SP2 for clients, Win 2k3 for servers and Access 2003. The max. number of clients is about 50 (concurrent users is estimated around 10). Whilst the Back End always lives on a server, I am not quite clear where the Front End should live. I have searched the web and find contradicting views.

I have 1 master page in the root of my website that I would like to share with all pages, even those in my /admin and /client directories. But when pages in the subdir's are viewed the img, css, etc... references are incorrect because they are "root based". Any suggestion as to how to overcome this? Or do I have to create another Master Page for the subdir pages? Thansk!

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
