master pages across multiple web apps9/15/2004 7:04:59 PM

0/0

Is it possible to re-use a single master page across more than one ASP.Net application? In my development team where I work, it is important for us to maintain the same look, feel, and common "global" navigation and functionality across all applications. So far from what I have tried with the 2005 Beta, it is not possible. Anyone have success trying this or an idea of how to get it to work?

No, you can't do that. The MasterPage file must be located within the same application where you use the MasterPage.

There are 2 really advanced approaches that you can try.
1. Create two virtual directories inside your applications, one per each app. Map the two virtual directories to the same physical directory where your master page file is defined.
2. Implement your own virtualpathprovider and maps the masterpages to the same physical path.

I posted thsi in another thread and will post it here as well...

I have done this and it works pretty good.

Example...

/Shell/
-----/MasterPages/
----------/masterPage.master


/App1/
-----vdir to /Shell/

/App2/
-----vdir to /Shell/

In app1 and app2's web.config I can set my masterpagefile to ~/shell/masterpages/masterpage.master and both app1 and app2 render fine. The master page includes a nav control that picks up the local .site file in both the applications.

the /Shell/ external folder will contain themes, and other shared things in the future for all my applications.

Hi there

Can you give me an example of the code you would use to reference this virtual directory?

I have a virtual directory in my web app called "MasterPages" which refers to a physical location on the server. In my web pages I am referencing the master page file using the following:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Complaints.aspx.cs" Inherits="Complaints"
MasterPageFile="~/MasterPages/MasterPage.master" %>
<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/MasterPages/MasterPage.master" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="Main"></asp:Content>

 ... and how do I put the reference to the master page in the web config?

Also, when I restart IIS after creating my virtual directory, the directory disappears and when I try to recreate it, it says to use a unique alias because it already exists, when it obviously doesn't. Any thoughts?

Cheers
