Deploy Master Page (SP2010)

Hello,

i want to deploy a Master Page as a Feature in Sharepoint 2010.
I followed the Steps in this Article, but i get some Errors.
http://www.sharepointchick.com/archive/2010/03/26/deploying-a-custom-master-page-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx

When i deploy the Solution in VS2010 and enter my SP Site, i get an Error: File not found.
I discover, that my sample.master File were not copied into the _catalogs/masterpage Directory.
When i copy the File manuell into this Directory, i can open my Site correctly, but in the Feature Overview my Feature is deactivated.
When i try to activate it, i get an Errormessage:
The specified File in this Modul section is already in place.
I renamed my sample.master File but is still the same Error.

Can anyone help me?

 Hi all-

I would like to present users with unique content based on certain conditions being met as they land on the home page (default.aspx).  The condition logic will be in the VB code behind Page Load event. The content will go in a content placeholder as specificed from the master page. 

However, the content change wouldn't be something small (ie making a panel or label visible or not) but rather it will be different HTML,  Divs and databound gridview content.  The HTML content will be stored in the database.

Can someone point me in the right direction for best practices on how to accomplish this?

Thanks!

I usually work with windows forms, and am just starting to work with ASP.Net, so appologies if this is a dumb question!

I have a master page which has a search button on it. The results of this are built up using a Linq statement and if there are any results, I want to display the results in a contents page.

On the masterpage, I have the following code:

Private _res

    Public Overridable ReadOnly Property SearchRes()
        Get
            Return _res
        End Get
    End Property

 Private Sub DoSearch()
   'some code to get a linq result
   'then

    If res.Any Then
            _res = res
            Server.Transfer("SearchResults.aspx", True)
        Else
            'no results
            LabelNoRes.Visible = True
        End If
 End Sub

On the SearchResults.aspx page I have this code.

Dim m As pxSite = CType(Page.Master, MasterPage)
        If m.SearchRes IsNot Nothing Then
            Label1.Text = "Results found = " & m.SearchRes.Count
        End If

m.searchRes is always nothing. 

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks

I have an HTML <div> container that I float to the right of a gridview.  When the browser window is maximized, it looks fine.  When minimized, the gridview positions below the floating container and most of the data is pushed off the bottom of the browser - you have to scroll down to see it.

If I position the floating container above the gridview it looks fine in a minimized window, but looks real bad when maximized.

What I want to do is use a javascript: onresize event to re-position the floating container up or down depending on the window.inner.width AND do it with a Master/Content page structure AND do it for only the one page where needed.

I can capture the onresize event and display the window dimensions but haven't figured-out how to do it with a Content page that still uses the Master page.  I think I'm having a very "thick" week...

I have created two composite controls in the same assembly and registered that assembly in a master page using <%@ Register tag.

When I try to use these controls using the registered tag prefix I am getting only one control along with the tagprefix .

How to get all the composite controls present in the registered assembly?

Master pages in ASP.NET 2.0 solve a problem many Web developers have been solving on their own with a variety of techniques for years - providing a single master template for an entire site. This article covers the details of master pages, discussing their usage and implementation and how they are a natural evolution of custom techniques developers are using today.

In essence, I am creating Dynamic Checkboxlist controls and adding them to a Panel.  It works well when I do not have a Master Page configure to this webpage. Once I have a masterpage congifured.. I get a "Object Reference not set to instance of object" error on the Panel_Control.Controls.Add(Checkboxlistnew) line:

protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
       
        XML OXML = new XML();
        
        alistChkBoxLabels = OXML.XMLTransform("C:\\Documents and Settings\..\\Config_new.xml", "config_options/check_box/applications/app/@name");
        int count = 1;
        alistCheckisFacility = new ArrayList();
        alIDTracker = new ArrayList();
        while (count <= alistChkBoxLabels.Count)
        {

            Checkboxlistnew = new CheckBoxList();
            Checkboxlistnew.ID = count.ToString();
            alIDTracker.Add(Checkboxlistnew.ID);
            Checkboxlistnew.Items.Add(new ListItem(alistChkBoxLabels[count - 1].ToString(), alistChkBoxLabels[count - 1].ToString()));

            String sAppName = alistChkBoxLabels[count - 1].ToString().Trim();

            
            alistCheckisFacility = OXML.XMLTransform("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\My Documents\\Visual Studio 2005\\WebSites\\User_Trial\\Config_new

In my masterpage I have a menu with buttons. I want the buttons to do something after click. It works but I have to click twice on the button, why? What do I have to do to just to click once?

My webpage has one banner with a logo, a vertical menu bar on the left side of the page and a footer . I have 5 other pages which should get loaded when the user select them from the menu bar. what my concern is actually the banner,  menu bar  and the footer should not change when the requested page loads. This definitely can be handled by sets. But I want to know whether there are any other alternatives for frame sets or could master page be helpful for this purpose ????? 

Any help would be appreciative .
