Web Parts in a Master Page

[stefan]

Hi Everyone,

I have been playing around with Web Parts recently in ASP.NET 2.0 and I
ran into a problem when using them on a Master Page. The problem is
that each page remembers the Web Part settings individually. So if I
add a Web Part to page foo.aspx it will not show up on bar.aspx even
though the Web Part is on the Master Page that both pages use. I
realize that this might be desired functionality for some, but does
anyone know of an option that would turn off this behaviour?

Thanks in advance.
Stefan

Yes, that's because the wep parts info is stored per-page in the DB. IOW,
the web part doesn't know that it's on a master page.
