Remarks
The MasterPageFile property is the name of the master page file associated with a content page.
The MasterPageFile property can be set declaratively using the @ Page directive.
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/pages/Master1.master" Title="Content Page" %> | ||
| C# | VB | |
The MasterPageFile property can be set programmatically only in the PreInit event. Attempting to set the MasterPageFile property after the PreInit event will throw an InvalidOperationException exception.
NOTE: Pages that have the MasterPageFile property set are content pages, and therefore can contain only top-level controls that are Content controls.
