Consider a site with 3 files the purpose of which I hope is evident in
their names: SiteMaster.master, threeColumnMaster.Master, which uses
SiteMaster.master as its master page and default.aspx which uses
threeColumnMaster.master as it's master page.
The question is can Default.aspx access a ContentPlaceHolder control
defined in SiteMaster.Master. It would seem not, but I just want to
double check.
Thanks in advance,

You're using "nested" MasterPages and yes, you can still reference a
ContentPlaceHolder in the top-level Master by passing the value of the
ContentPlaceHolder ID to the FindControl method. Referencing controls when
using MasterPages gets laborious to explain. There are very good blogs that
document MasterPages. One of the better if not the best is at http://OdeToCode.com.

Clinton,
Thanks for the reply. If I understand you correctly, you're suggesting
the only way to get at ContentPlaceHolders in the hierarchy is through
code. That's a bit unfortunate, but good to know.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant to convey. Enable trace in the content page
and look for controls and you'll see the hierarchy. Read OdeToCode.

The easiest way is to have a contentplaceholder in the child master that
simply refers to the content control in the main master. That's what I
do and it works fine.
