I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have tplaced the code from the Creating Master Page exactly as below:

Code:

<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
     <div id=âPageWrapperâ>
     <div id=âHeaderâ><a href=â~/â runat=âserverâ>Header Goes Here</a></div>
     <div id=âMenuWrapperâ>Menu Goes Here</div>
     <div id=âMainContentâ>
       <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID=âcpMainContentâ runat=âserverâ>
       </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
       </div>
       <div id=âSidebarâ>Sidebar Goes Here</div>
       <div id=âFooterâ>Footer Goes Here</div>
       </div>

    </form>
</body>

I get lots of errors, and the Design view states "Error Creating Control - "cpMainContent" No 'runat=server' attribute present on the contentplaceholder tag.

Any light shed will be greatly appreciated.

Not sure what happened, but I deleted the file from Solution Explorer, and started over. It works now.

Did you copy the code from a digital copy of the book? This code:

Code:

 
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID=âcpMainContentâ runat=âserverâ>

contains curly quotes (â) rather than straight quotes (").

That must have been it. After I deleted the Master, I re-created it, and stopped being lazy. I typed the code in, and it worked.
