Hi,

Are there a way to show both ContentPlaceHolser's at the same time ??
The following code show two ContentPlaceHolders, but i don't know what to do
to make them both visible at the same time.

<body>
<form id="form2" runat="server">
<div style="height:100px;">
Some text
</div>
<div style="position: relative; left: 250px; top: 150px; width:
400px; border-style: dotted;
border-color: Blue;">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</div>
<div style="position: fixed; left: 50px; top: 50px; width: 400px;
border-style: dotted;
border-color: Blue;">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentPlaceHolder2" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</div>
<div>
Some more text
</div>
</form>
</body>

Thank you in advance.

Hi Peter

You can have as many ContentPlaceHolders as you like and all can be
visible at the same time. The rules are as follows:

* If a ContentPlaceHolder is declared on the content page, it must
have a ContentPlaceHolderID property matching the ID property of one
of those declared in the master page. Otherwise an error is generated.

* Whatever is placed inside a valid ContentPlaceHolder on the content
page will be rendered in the normal way. If the corresponding
ContentPlaceholder on the master page has anything in it, then that is
overwritten by the content page version (including empty content).

* If a ContentPaceHolder declared on the master page has no matching
ContentPlaceHolder on the content page, then any content that exists
within that ContenPlaceHolder on the master page will be rendered on
the content page (i.e. becomes default content). If it is empty then
nothing will be rendered in that location.

Hope that makes sense
 
Hi Stan,

Thanks for your input.

Yes it does make sense.
What you write is pretty much the same i have found. The problem is that i
don't see the content from the two ContentPlaceHolder's at the same time..
I have the following files:
Site.master
Default1.aspx
Default2.asps

If i select Default1.aspx and run the project, the content contained in
Default1 is shown and Default2.aspx is not shown. If i select Default2 and
run, the Default2 is shown and Default1 is hided.
I do see the div border read from the master file for both sections, its
just the content that is missing.

From what you say, both files should be visible, but that's not what i see
(?) !!
What am i doing wrong here ??

Peter

Hello Peter,

Stan meant to put the two content place holders in one aspx page. For
example:

Master page (MasterPage.master):

<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
This is:
<asp:contentplaceholder id="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
</asp:contentplaceholder>
<br />
And This is:
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentPlaceHolder2" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</div>
</form>
</body>

Default.aspx page:

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1"
Runat="Server">
ContentPlaceHolder1
</asp:Content>

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder2"
Runat="Server">
ContentPlaceHolder2
</asp:Content>

Please try it again and let us know whether it helps you.

Hi Jialiang,

So what you say is that the content (ContentPalaceHolders) must come from
the same aspx file ??
I choose the aspx file to show - and thats what it does.

Hi Peter

Sorry for the delay in responding.

I'm not so sure now about what you are really asking.

If a client requests Default1.aspx then it will receive the result of
merging Site.master with Default1.aspx, according to the rules I
outlined previously. The content of Default2.aspx is not involved and
has no bearing on the result. Only the master and the requested
content page are used to service the request.
