Title Body

This is weird. I added a brand new Web Application project to my solution in Visual Studio 2008. Created a master page. Made zero modifications. Created a new webform. Set its master page to the MP I just created. Still, no modifications. No markup. No user controls. No references. Nothing. However when I try to run it, I get: Content controls have to be top-level controls in a content page or a nested master page that references a master page. HttpException (0x80004005): Content controls have to be top-level controls in a content page or a nested master page that references a master page.] System.Web.UI.MasterPage.CreateMaster(TemplateControl owner, HttpContext context, VirtualPath masterPageFile, IDictionary contentTemplateCollection) +8665016 System.Web.UI.Page.get_Master() +51 System.Web.UI.Page.ApplyMasterPage() +15 System.Web.UI.Page.PerformPreInit() +45 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +282 If I do the same exact thing in a standalone project thats outside of this solution, it works fine. Keep in mind that I'm using a web application project vs a website project if that makes any difference. The webform: <%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="WebUI._Default" MasterPageFile="~/Site1.Master" %> <!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></title> </head> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> </div> </form> </body> </html> The master page: <%@ Master Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="Site1.master.vb" Inherits="WebUI.Site1" %&
