ASP.NET C＃-在default.aspx中显示正确的contentplaceholder

Question

I am trying to help friend with his website which is written in asp.net. I am newbie in asp.net but I know php and mysql. Right know I am trying to figure out, how to declare which page (something.aspx) is shown in ContentPlaceHolder.

For example:

I have one master page (web.master) on which I have:

< asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="cpMainContent" runat="server">

Then I have many content pages (fe article.aspx, section.apsx) on which I have:

< asp:Content ID="Something" ContentPlaceHolderID="cpMainContent" runat="server">Some content

So my question is, how the website knows which .aspx file to open? If I open my friends website, I found out, that in cpMainContent is content from file section.aspx. If I make new page, like section2.aspx, how should I let the website know, that it should use the new created page?

Thank you very much for responses.

Answer 1

When creating a new page, you give it a name and before you press "ADD" you can check off to "Select Master Page". It will bring up a dialog box of all master pages in the project and you can select one. Easy as that!

Answer 2

Master pages are not accessed directly by the user. Redirection can be performed by adding the directory pathto the anchor tag to other pages( content pages associated with master pages/ not associated with master page ).
