Hello,

I have created a web page, now i want to add the master page, the problem is i only have to show the master page when the user enters and if the administrator enters the master page should be disabled and it should show the page as it is

void Page_PreInit(Object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                if (!IsPostBack)
                {
                    if (Session["login"].ToString() != "admin")
                    {
                        this.MasterPageFile = "~/NewMaster.master";
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                lable1.text = ex.ToString();
            }
        }

i also tried

this.Page.MasterPageFile = "~/NewMaster.master";

exception:

"Content controls have to be top-level controls in a content page or a nested master page that references a master page"

when i try to put Content controls in the page it gave me:

"ContentPlaceHolder can only be used in .master files."

it is not working.
please help
thank you

0	Sample This is the content page, which allows users to select a master page based on a query string provided with the request. The @ MasterType directive, which assigns a strong type to the page's Master property, references the base type. <%@ Page Language="C#" Title="Content Page" MasterPageFile="~/MasterBlue.master"%> <%@ MasterType TypeName="BaseMaster" %> <script runat="server"> protected void Page_PreInit(Object sender, EventArgs e) { this.MasterPageFile = "MasterBlue.master"; if(Request.QueryString["color"] == "green") { this.MasterPageFile = "MasterGreen.master"; } this.Title = Master.MyTitle; } </script> <asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server"> Content from Content page. </asp:Content> Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c8y19k6h(v=vs.90).aspx Mark This Response as Answer -- Chandu http://www.dotnetfunda.com/images/dnfmvp.gif Write2varun, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
