master pages across several applications?

Ily
Hi all

I have several applications that are all in asp.net 2.0

I want all of these applications to have a common look and feel. This
inclues things like font, company logo, button colors etc

How can I achive this using master pages as so far I have only found
ways of doing this for a single application - but I want to do this for
several applications. The idea is that if I develop a new application
it can automatically have the look and feel of the company without
having it embedded innside this and every other application

Can anyone help or offer any tips to point me to the right direction?

If you put your master pages into a folder under IIS, your web apps should
be able to access that from a virtual directory and give you centralised
access to your master pages.

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...

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.

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