Hi there,

Can you provide more information? For example, the version of Visual Studio you're using, the full error message, the URL you see in the browser's address bar? More details make this easier to solve.

Cheers,

Imar

Thanks very much for the reply ......
the URL:http://localhost:49171/Default
and it displays on the upper page :
Server Error in '/' Application.
MasterPage cannot be applied to this page because the control collection is read-only. If the page contains code blocks, make sure they are placed inside content controls (i.e. <asp:Content runat=server />)

Looks like something is broken in your Default.aspx page. Can you paste its source code (the markup) here?

If you post code, can you please paste it in Notepad first to remove color coding and then use the forum editor's Code toolbar button to wrap your code in code tags. Otherwise, this forum messes up the code.

Cheers,

Imar

Take a look at this:

Code:

<asp:Content ID=<h2>Hello World</h2>

Your <asp:Content> element got corrupted somehow. It should look like this:

Code:

<asp:Content ID="BodyContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<h2>Hello World</h2>
...

Hope this helps,

Imar
