    Hi,
     
    I have following Master Page File:
     
    <%@Master language="C#"%>
    <%@ Register Tagprefix="SharePoint" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %> <%@ Register Tagprefix="Utilities" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %> <%@ Import Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint" %> <%@ Assembly Name="Microsoft.Web.CommandUI, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>

    <body>
    <table width="100%" height="100%">

        </td>
       </tr>
    </table>
    </body>
    </html>
     
     
    I have used the above master page file in following aspx page:
     
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <%@ Page language="C#" MasterPageFile="_catalogs/masterpage/IS.master" Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPartPage,Microsoft.SharePoint,Version=14.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" meta:progid="SharePoint.WebPartPage.Document"  %>
    <%@ Register Tagprefix="SharePoint" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
    <%@ Register Tagprefix="Utilities" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
    <%@ Import Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint" %>
    <%@ Assembly Name="Microsoft.Web.CommandUI, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
    <%@ Register Tagprefix="WebPartPages" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
    <asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server">
    <asp:Button Text="Click" runat="server"></asp:Button>
    </asp:Content>
     
     
     
    Now, when I open the above master page in Internet Explorer, I get following error:
    An error occurred during the processing of /ISTeamSiteBlank/untitled_1.aspx. Only Content controls are allowed directly in a content page that contains Content controls.
     
    Kindly let me know whats going wron here.
     
    Regards,
    Sachin R. Chavan.

    You need to move the XHTML doctype declaration into your master page (and delete it from your aspx page) - as the error message says, once you have an ASPX page using content controls you can't have anything other than content controls and ASPX declarations in it.
