[NET 2.0] Master Pages - Most useful feature in ASP.NET 2.0?

I've started to read up on the new stuff in .NET 2.0 to prepare myself for the PDC, especially the ASP.NET stuff, and I must say that so far the most useful thing I've looked at is Master Pages. I've used the Wilson Master Pages in previous versions of ASP.NET and it has helped us much, but now in 2.0 with the intergration with the IDE it's just plain beautiful.

I think the Master Pages feature will be used in a majority of the web sites out there in the future, don't you think?

  • My company has used MasterPages (from MetaBuilders) on pretty much every project since it came out.



    We don't use the designer in Visual Studio for anything so the lack of designer support has been a non-issue.

  • I already have a hard time living with out it when I maintain some v1.1 websites. Can't wait till my provider upgrades to v2.0...



    Chad: I agree that the designer in vs2003 is so poor that no designer with respect for themselves would use it at all. That's not the case with vs2005 though.
