Working with master pages and templates:
Please go to
Go to Site Action -> Site setting -> Modify All Site Settings.
Then you will see the following screen. Then click on
Galleries -> Master pages and page layouts
On clicking master pages you will see page as shown in following image.
Master Page:
ASP.NET master pages allow you to create a consistent layout for the pages in your application. A single master page defines the look and feel and standard behavior that you want for all of the pages (or a group of pages) in your application. You can then create individual content pages that contain the content you want to display. When users request the content pages, they merge with the master page to produce output that combines the layout of the master page with the content from the content page.
How Master Pages Work:
Master pages actually consist of two pieces, the master page itself and one or more content pages.
A master page is an ASP.NET file with the extension .master (for example, MySite.master) with a predefined layout that can include static text, HTML elements, and server controls. The master page is identified by a special @ Master directive that replaces the @ Page directive that is used for ordinary .aspx pages.
In addition to the @ Master directive, the master page also contains all of the top-level HTML elements for a page, such as html, head, and form. For example, on a master page you might use an HTML table for the layout, an img element for your company logo, static text for the copyright notice, and server controls to create standard navigation for your site. You can use any HTML and any ASP.NET elements as part of your master page.
Replaceable Content Placeholders:
In addition to static text and controls that will appear on all pages, the master page also includes one or more ContentPlaceHolder controls. These placeholder controls define regions where replaceable content will appear. In turn, the replaceable content is defined in content pages. After you have defined the ContentPlaceHolder controls, a master page might look like the following.
C#
<%@ Master Language=”C#” %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML
1.1//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd”>
<html>
