Master Pages In ASP.NET 2.0
A professional web site will have a standardized look across all pages. For example, one popular layout type places a navigation menu on the left side of the page, a copyright on the bottom, and content in the middle. It can be difficult to maintain a standard look if you must always put the common pieces in place with every web form you build. In ASP.NET 2.0, master pages will make the job easier. You’ll only need to write the common pieces once - in the master page. Marking Up Master Pages To add a master page to a web project, right-click your web project in the Solution Explorer window, select Add New Item, and select the Master Page item type from the Add New Item dialog. <! " <title>Untitled Page</title> <asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/Experiments.aspx" Text="Experiments" Value="Experiments"/> Just like any ASPX form, our master page can contain code in a <script> block, or in a code-behind file, and can respond to page lifecycle events.

Create CSS Sprites
1. Create your master image Divide a rectangle into four items, or as many icons as you need. Observe in this master image that our intended “before” link images are on the top row, with “after” :hover states immediately below. The total master image size is 205 x 103 pixels. This is important information to keep track of. Note that in this example we’ve added 1px borders around each image as well. 2. Light-weight, simple markup that degrades well in older and CSS-disabled browsers is what we are shooting for. Create an unordered list <ul> with a list item <li>for each icon. <ul id="iconmenu"><li id="panel1c"><a href="#">></a></li><li id="panel2c"><a href="#"></a></li><li id="panel3c"><a href="#"></a></li><li id="panel4c"><a href="#"></a></li></ul> We will not include any links at this point since this is just a demo. 3. We'll start with taking care of the unordered list id of #iconmenu Let's look at what the CSS is doing: 4. At this stage we have created the space for one icon. 5. 6. 7. 8.
