Uniformity in Web Development

Hi All,

I'm currently attempting a project in web development using c#. My experience in either is admittedly limited but I just wanted to try and clear up some things that I'm not sure I've either understood correctly or am implementing correctly.

I've created a home page and can navigate between pages, however, how do I ensure that all buttons are positioned uniformly on each page? I've tried implementing CSS for fonts but this doesn't seem to work for backgrounds. Also, to try and get uniformity (and in honesty save time) I wanted to copy this to use for future pages but then I get parameter errors as the button names are already defined on the home page? Is there an easy way of getting around this?

As I say, I'm looking for the same format across all pages? Apologies if this is a silly/basic question, I'm just trying to understand how it all works!

Any help/advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

Kate

Hi Khargesh,

Sorry, just trying to understand for future reference….I still feel all too new to this!

So if I add those tags behind the master and child page respectively it should then allow editing and I can (as I understand from that link) add a content placeholder within the master page that will then knock onto the child page and allow editing?

Or have I misunderstood?

Thank you for your time and patience on this one!

Many Thanks,

Kate

you have added this in masterpage
you have to add textbox or your content you want to use in child page add in child page

masterpage content like this

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="MasterPage.master.cs" Inherits="MasterPage" %>

and child page

like
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Home.aspx.cs" Inherits="Home" %>

Hi Khargesh,

I did think that I should be able to edit the child page from the child page but im only getting that void symbol.

I hope you can see the screen shot above.

Many Thanks for your help!

may be your textbox on masterpage, then you can change it on masterpage designview or sourceview.
I you are adding new childpage then controls of childpage can be edited in child page

Hello, Thanks Guys! I've created a master page using the visual studio design view and the website name and all buttons transferred over to its content page successfully. However, when I try to add a separate text box on a content page that isn't from my master page my cursor displays as a void sign and doesn't allow me to make changes. I understand that the format is taken from the master page but I cant see why it wouldn't allow me to make edits, is it because I did it in design view that I've included the blank space as part of my master? Any ideas on how it will let me edit? I'm currently reading up on content place holders to see if this will help at all? Many Thanks, Kate
