Master Page Template

[Ryan]

Is there any way to apply a master page to existing pages that weren't
previously using a master page? VB 2005.

Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan,

That is in my opinion not with a correct answer to answer question.

Of course it can, but than is it how are those existing pages build.

There in my opinion nowhere so much methods that can make a page as with
webpages. (I am not talking about the raw HTML results but the page the
developer is making)

If you have in past used frames or Iframes than it is in my idea very simple
for those frames.

Sorry Cor I'm having trouble understanding you're answer.

I have numerous pages that I want to have the same surrounding art (a header
banner espescially). It was my understanding that using a MasterPage
template is the way to do this in VB 2005. I already have my pages created
for functionality, now I just want to add some artwork to the top of all of
the pages. Are you saying I should redesign the pages to use frames?

Thanks,
Ryan

You can force a master page to apply to an entire site using the web.config
file.

If you didn't create your pages to take advantage of a MasterPage, then you
may have some cleaning up to do. Typically, you have an
<asp:contentplaceholder> tag in your MasterPage and then you have an
<asp:content> tag in each page that is to use the MasterPage. You also need
to inlcude the ContentPlaceHolderID attribute of the <asp:content> tag in the
ASPX page to tell the page which contentplaceholder to use. (From what I can
tell, this is the piece that allows you to nest MasterPages within each
other.)

If your content pages are not configured to use the <asp:content> tags, then
I do not know how your pages are going to be rendered.

That should get you started, though.

Ryan,

There are endless tools that create webpages.

To give some of those
Visual Studio Net 2002/2003
Interdev 98
FrontPage version express until 2003
Dreamweaver different versions
Flash different versions
Studio different versions
Php
Coffeecup
Lotus
Ace
Java applets
JavaScript
CSS
Notepad
etc. etc.

From the way you have used these tools it depends how easy it is to use that
integrated into your masterpages from Visual Studio Net 2005.

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately existing pages that weren't previously using a Master Page
must be tailored to be used with MasterPage.

Pages will use the MasterPage is called a Content page. In a content page,
anything that is not inside the Content (<asp:Content>) controls (except
script blocks for server code) results in an error. You can perform any
tasks in a content page that you do in an ASP.NET page. For example, you
can generate content for a Content control using server controls and
database queries or other dynamic mechanisms.

You can find more information about MasterPage here:
