Good luck!

I think in general masterpages are used as a template for your page layout, and usercontrol are used to offer a single peace of functionality (like creating a header user control and dropping it on all your pages).

Hi,

suhasakole:

In fact, the master page drives from the user control. When the aoolication executs the master page just like a usercontrol on the content page.

You’ll only need to write the common pieces once - in the master page. A master page can serve as a template for one or more web forms. Each ASPX web form only needs to define the content unique to itself, and this content will plug into specified areas of the master page layout.
