The final two tutorials (#9 and #10) of my Master Pages Tutorial series are now available on www.asp.net. These tutorials explore two advanced master page scenarios:
- Specifying the Master Page Programmatically [VB | C#] - in most cases a content page's master page is specified statically through the MasterPageFile attribute in the @Page directive. However, it is possible to dynamically set a content page's master page, as this tutorial shows.
- Nested Master Pages [VB | C#] - much like how a content pages can bind to a master page, it is possible for master pages to bind to other master pages. Such nested master pages are quite useful in scenarios where there is an overarching look and feel to a site, but various portions of the site require a more customized and unique template. With nested master pages you can define the global common layout in a top-level master page and then use child master pages to create more specialized layouts for particular sections of the site.
Like my past tutorials, these tutorials are all available in C# and VB versions, include a complete working source code download, and are available to download as PDF, as well.
Enjoy! - http://asp.net/learn/master-pages/
