    Missing Content Placeholder in nested master content page

    Hi,

    I'm having trouble with nested master pages (and creating the same behaviour
    as Scott Guthrie's blog post
    http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archi...e-support.aspx )
    ..

    I have a 'Main' master and added a 'Sub' master (based on 'Main') and
    finally added a 'Home' content page (based on 'Sub'). However rather than
    the expected Content Placeholder control the content page has a comment
    saying: "<%-- Add content controls here --%>", but the control isn't
    available in the toolbox. This does seem to happen in Scott's demo, can
    anyone help?

    (Using VS 2008 Pro RTM)

    Thanks in advance.

    John

      RE: Missing Content Placeholder in nested master content page

      Hi John,

      I'm not sure if I fully understand the question here. I just tried the
      nested master page on VS2008, both in Website mode and Web Application
      Project mode, which all work correctly. The only difference is that in Web
      Application Project mode, when we add a new WebForm, we don't have the
      option to "Choose MasterPage", instead, we can open the master page and
      select menu "Website/Add Content Page" to create a new content page for
      current master page.

          Hello Walter,

          Thanks for you reply. Following your reassurance I've been back to the
          problem and realised my mistake. The problem was that I hadn't added a new
          Content Placeholder to the 'Sub' master and so even though I based the
          content page on the 'Sub' master there was no placeholder for it to look at.

          Hope that helps others who make the same mistake.

          Thanks again Walter.

          Best regards

          John
