Yeah, I am definately looking forward to this in 2005. I actually looked into the same thing Paul talks about, but knew that master pages were coming in 2005 so never went anywhere with it. Master pages will change how the BasePage implementation that Brendan and I have been talking about will be designed and function.

It's notoriously arduous to <i>enclose</i> content into a designated area of a page that has programmatical functionality elsewhere.</p>
<p>I am not very keen on the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnvs05/html/aspnet-masterpages.asp">ASP.NET 2.0</a> design, either. That requires the developer to write specific server control definitions and references here and there. What I want to accomplish is to make the master paging as easy as possible (of course, easy when excluding the implementation of the master paging system).</p>
