I have problem in using master pages in ASP.NET

Joe,

 

Master page is used for making a web application with consistent look. For instance there are 5 href links which should in all pages. I can manually add those links in all individual pages. It creates messy to manage the code when a maintenance is required. To overcome the issue Microsoft introduced Master page concept.

 

In master(temp.master) page you need add those links. Then add your web forms which will refer your master page. It also helps to manage code better and code re-use.

 

Please go through below links thoroughly  that might help you.
