MasterPages don't work like framesets - they are UserControls.

To change the content, you simply redirect to another content page.

The concept of master-content pages is not like frames where you have a page
made out of two different parts and you can replace one part in runtime
while keeping the other. Master and content pages rather make up one single
page. If you need another content, you need to switch to another page. It
doesn't mean you can't keep the control state from the first page. You just
need to persist it in a regular way, e.g. in session variables.

Probably. Ajax uses callbacks instead of postbacks, so if your content page
only initiates callbacks, then the entire page will not get rerendered every
time - therefore, any state you preserve in your MasterPage will remain...
