Over the past two years I've been working on a number of step-by-step tutorials for Microsoft's www.asp.net website. The two complete tutorial series are:
I'm happy to announce a new tutorial series of mine on the www.asp.net website on master pages. The first three tutorials are now available:
- Creating a Site-Wide Layout Using Master Pages [VB | C#] - covers the basics of what master pages are andhow to use them to define a site-wide layout.
- Multiple ContentPlaceHolders and Default Content [VB | C#] - a master page can contain multiple ContentPlaceHolders. It's also possible to define default markup for a ConentPlaceHolder. Content pages can either emit this default content or override it with custom content.
- Specifying the Title, Meta Tags, and Other HTML Headers in the Master Page [VB | C#] - typically the <head> section of a web page is contained in the master page and not the content page, so what do you do if the content page needs to define page-specific <head>-level markup? This tutorial shows how to customize the page's title, meta tags, and other HTML headers.
There will be a total of 10 tutorials. The next batch focuses on common master page challenges - creating non-breaking URLs and control ID naming and referencing, among other topics.
Like my past tutorials, these tutorials are all available in C# and VB versions, include a complete workingsource code download, and are available to download as PDF, as well.
Enjoy! - http://asp.net/learn/master-pages/
