Hello,
I am trying to create a site with nested master pages.The overall master page contains a banner and a horizontal menu (see Application.master below).
For each of the menu entries there is a separate section, with a specific vertical menu at the left.There should be one subdirectory for each section, each one containing a sub master page for the section (see. Section.master) below.
The directory and file structure is like this:
/ Application.master
/organisation/
Section.master
Page_1.aspx
Page_2.aspx
Page_3.aspx
/production/
Section.master
Page_1.aspx
Page_2.aspx
Page_3.aspx
This worked fine, as long as I had only one section, and thus, only one sub master page Section.master.Then, I created another subdirectory, containing another Section.master page.
This caused the following compile error:
'MainContent' is already declared as 'Protected WithEvents MainContent As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ContentPlaceHolder' in this class.\production\Section.master.designer.vb
Ok, I saw that the second Section.master.vb file contained a class "Section", which is also contained in the other Section.master file, so I renamed it to "Section_Production". But the error remained.
When double clicking on the error message, I was taken to "Section.master.designer.vb", which seems to be a generated file. This file still contained the directive "Partial Public Class Section", which seems to cause the naming conflict...
However, I still would like to have one Application.master page at the root level, several sub directories and each of them contain one Section.master file.How can I do this without naming conflicts?
Thank you very much
Yeoman
