How to apply master pages to ascx files.

[Max2006]

Hi,

Is there any technique that allows me to have a usercontrols based on
MasterPages?
I know that MasterPages are designed for aspx pages. I wonder that I can
apply them to ascx files.

Thank you,
Max

Max, I think you can create a base class which can be inherited by all
your user controls

here's a small tip how it can be implemented (it's about aspx, but
it's the same)

Hi Max,

I'm afraid MasterPages cannot be used on UserControl.

However, I'm not sure your objective here. Based on my understanding,
UserControl is designed to be re-used. For example: if you need to use the
controls layout in a UserControl, simply put an instance of it on your new
UserControl.

No - in fact, MasterPages are UserControls too...

I know that MasterPages are designed for aspx pages. I wonder that I can
apply them to ascx files.

Generally speaking, a UserControl is designed for re-use, so you shouldn't
need to worry about this - just drop it onto the page where required, and
let its controls assume their styles from whichever CSS is in use for the
main page...
