Is there a way to present just the content of a page and turn off the
master page by code?
What on earth are you trying to do...???
In Page_PreInit you can set this.MasterPage File = null, but if you do
that you'll get an error telling you that 'Content controls are allowed
only in content page that references master page'
So I think you're out of luck, unless you can walk the controls
heirarchy and remove the content controls.
But I'm with Mark, why would you do this?

I'm looking for a a way to have a page without the master in order to print
the page without all the stuff on the master. Do you have a better way for
this?

Hi Victor,
What I did was create a stripped down 'printfriendly. master' page that does
away with all the regular page content.
You can hook up it up to a Print Friendly image button by passing a
querystring parameter like ?pf=1 to invoke the printer friendly master page:
protected void Page_PreInit(ob ject sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Request["pf"] == "1")
{
Page.MasterPage File = "printfriendly. master";
}
}
Let us know if this helps?

Thanks for Ken's good suggestion.
Hi Victor,
I agree with Ken. MasterPage for ASP.NET 2.0 page is working like a
UserControl and it will load all the Content controls in concrete page when
the content page is loading at runtime. Therefore, a content page can not
be displayed individually without a MasterPage. However, as Ken mentioned,
ASP.NET 2.0 page can dynamically specify the MasterPage file in the
"PreInit" event, therefore, you can prepare a print friendly master page
and when the user click print button, directly him to a page which is
decorated with that print friendly master page. Do you think this a
workable solution?
here is blog article describing dynamic page layout through MasterPage:
#Recipe: Dynamic Site Layout and Style Personalization with ASP.NET http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archi...-Dynamic-Site-
Layout-and-Style-Personalization-with-ASP.NET--.aspx
Hope this also helps some.

or you can use a print specific .css that hides the unwanted master page
bits using display:none; and so do away with the additional master page, the
master page selection code and the print button.

Thanks for your help, one more thing, is it possible to have this routine on
a handler so that it could happen on any page without going to all the pages
and adding those lines of code?
Thanks again,

Hi Victor,
Do you mean you want to put the master page selecting code into a central
place instead of spreading it in each content page? So far I can not get
any idea on using a non-page specific event handler, what I can get is
defining a base page class and override the "OnPreInit" method and
programmtically assign the "MasterPageFile " property in it according to
certain condition. e.g.:
=============== ====
public class BasePage : Page
{
............... .....
protected override void OnPreInit(Event Args e)
{
base.OnPreInit( e);
if (Request.QueryS tring["print"] == "true")
{
this.MasterPage File = "~/Master/print.master";
}
}
}
=============== ======
And for our content pages which will need to apply the print friendly
master page, just derive it from our custom basepage class istead of the
default "Page" class. e.g.
=============== ====
public partial class Concrete_printt estpage : BasePage
{
............... ......
}
===============
Hope this helps.

In classic ASP, I used to use two include files on each page, one before

Hi,
I want to use 2 master pages, one for the main part of the site, the other

They are quite similar, with many shared elements.
Ideally I would like to have a parent master page, which both of these child

these child master pages.

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?
