Some Master Page questions

A

active

I have a Master page that all other pages reference.

When I create a new page I use "New WebForm"
Is that correct in this situation?


the IDE then inserts after the <%@ Page line
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C/...

Is that required if a master page is referenced?



Thanks

If you add a new Web Content Form, you'll be prompted to select its
MasterPage, and everything will be wired up for you...

The only way I can do that is under "WebSite/Add Content Page" add one at
the same level as the .Master.

Nothing sounding like "Content" appears when I click "Add New Item"

I wanted to store the content pages in a folder.

I'm pretty sure I can move it and fit so it'll work.

Is that what I must do?

I'm using VS2005.

thanks again

There are two types of projects in VS2005: Web Sites and Web
Application Projects

In a "Web Site", when adding a new web page, there should be a
checkbox in the dialog that says something like "select master page".

In a Web Application Project, you have the choice of adding a "Web
Page" or a "Web Content Page". The second one allows you to select a
master page.
