Is the .master extension of importance

W

WT

Hello,

I want to know if the .master is of any importance for a master page.
Could I have an .ascx extension and the <%@ Matser..%> Directive inside,
will my page load using LoadControl from code ?

Thanks

I just finished my test and it loads perfectly.....
My expectation is that using masterpages in place of user controls, I could
have MatserPages in user controls...

More later.

Hello CS,

As Gaurav has mentioned, the Master page's "master" extension is a fixed
one which we have to adopt for master pages in our ASP.NET 2.0 application.
Also, since the master page is always requested/loaded by ASP.NET runtime
internally, it doesn't expect users to manually configuer handler for its
extensions in web.config(different from normal ASPX page).

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

Hi Steven,
My question is just in loading the control from code with LoadControl in the
PreInit phase.

Thanks for your quick reply CS,

I think I may have somewhat misunderstand your scenario. If convenient,
would provide some code snippet about your loadcontrol logic in PreInit?

My original consideration is that you have an existing master page such as
site.master(as below)

===================
<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="site.ascx.cs"
Inherits="Master_site" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitled Page</title>
...............

====================

and you want to simply change its name to "site.ascx" or
"site.otherextension". Based on my test, this will raise error. If what you
do is simply use Page.LoadControl to load the "site.master" as a
usercontrol template, I think it will works, but since master page contains
many page level elements(such as server-side <form>), it may conflict with
the current page's form.
