On your master page you can specify more than one content area.

example: www.slnintranet.com -- The links on the left hand side are data driven and show up on all pages based on roles.

On your specific pages you choose what content to allow master page items to come through. Some people condone the use of masterpage code outside of the content areas but I feel that reduces your control.

>Just started to use Master Pages in a Web Form.
>I use the visual designer to create a new Master Page, and it creates the Form, with a Content Place Holder.
>My problem is that I cannot MOve or resize the content holder.
>I want to place a row of buttons down the LHS so they are available to all screens but when I run up the APP, sometimes I can see the Master Page, and If I amend the Master Page, it is sometimes losing all the data.
>
>I'm sure its goto to do with the fact that I cant resize or move the Content Holder, which sounds as if there is soemthing wrong.

>Any help appreciated.
