Hi,

I am trying to add master page reference in the aspx page but i get the error:

"

C#

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

"

How can I add this?

Thanks,
Rami

All your content in the Content Page should be wrapped inside

ASP.NET

<asp:content ..

tag that corresponds to the

ASP.NET

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ..

of your masterpage.
The simple and quick solution is to create a new page and while make adding the page from Template, make sure that you have checked the Checkbox for referencing MasterPage if you are using Visual Studio to develop your application and in the next screen select the masterpage. Then just copy the content of your existing page which is wrapped inside form tag (normally).
