Introduction to Master Pages, Themes, and Skins in ASP.NET 2.0

Chris Pels, iDevTech

ASP.NET 2.0 fills a great need with the addition of master pages, themes, and skins. An all too cumbersome task in the past has been creating a consistent and quality user interface, especially across multiple web sites.

In this presentation we'll explore the power of using master pages to implement a consistent framework for one or more web sites. You'll see some great options for creating a consistent look and feel to your web pages through the use of themes, skins, and CSS files. We will also cover how to make your site XHTML compliant which will increase cross browser compatibility. Lastly we will look at how these technologies can be used to establish consistency across multiple web sites.
