asp.net master page question

[mr t]

For those of you whose first language is English, could you please
explain to me what this means?

"Content controls have to be top-level controls in a content page or a
nested master page that references a master page"

that's the error I got from visual studio 2005 when trying to run a
page which has a master page. Is it my english or people in Redmond,
WA are faring poorly on English 101.

thanks in advance.

Three possible reasons:

1) Your content page doesn't have a correct reference to its MasterPage in
the @Page directive

2) You've forgotten to specify runat="server" in your <asp:Content /tag

3) You have placed content outside the <asp:Content>....</asp:Content>
section

If none of the above fixes it, please provide the full markup of your
content page.
