Kathy (and Gregory below),
The file that's giving me the error is the last one created, to which I attached the .master page. It's named "template.aspx", is in the root and here's what it looks like:
<%@ Page Language="vb" masterpagefile="masterpage.master" title="Untitled 1" %>
<asp:Content id="Content1" runat="Server" contentplaceholderid="ContentPlaceHolder1">
<p>content</p>
</asp:Content>
The web.sitemap was created from the File>New>ASP.NET>Site Map, which I added in the url, title and description info, is in the root and looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
<siteMapNode url="default.aspx" title="Home" description="Home - Shawn Nordfors">
<siteMapNode url="sculptures/sculptures.aspx" title="Sculptures" description="Sculptures by Shawn Nordfors">
<siteMapNode url="paintings/paintings.aspx" title="Paintings" description="Paintings" />
<siteMapNode url="information/information.aspx" title="Information" description="Information" />
<siteMapNode url="scrapbook/scrapbook.aspx" title="Scrapbook" description="Scrapbook" />
<siteMapNode url="contact/contact.aspx" title="Contact" description="Contact" />
<siteMapNode url="links/links.aspx" title="Links" description="Links" />
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
The .masterpage is the hermarphrodite I Frankensteined from the default .aspx page and css layout pages, is in the root and looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<%@ Master Language="vb" %>
<html dir="ltr" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled 1</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css" originalAttribute="href" originalPath="main.css" />
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="head" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div id="masthead">

<div id="top_nav">

<div id="container">

</div>
<div id="page_content">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Other pages are in their respective folders and currently look like this:
<%@ Page Language="vb" masterpagefile="../masterpage.master" title="Untitled 1" %>
<asp:Content id="Content1" runat="Server" contentplaceholderid="ContentPlaceHolder1">
<p>content</p>
</asp:Content>
If there's any other info I could add that would help, please holler.
Gregory,
I tried creating a flie from the current .master, it looks like this:
<%@ Page masterpagefile="masterpage.master" language="vb" title="Untitled 1" %>
I get the same error.
I tried creating a new .master, it looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<%@ Master Language="C#" %>
<html dir="ltr" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled 1</title>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="head" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Then I created a new file from that .master, it looks like this:
<%@ Page masterpagefile="test_1.master" language="C#" title="Untitled 1" %>
I still get the same error.
Now I think I'm jinxed. There couldn't be a more basic troublshooting method than you described and yet it's failing. I even created a new empty website, added a new master to that and created a new page from that master and still got the same error. Could this have anything to do with having set the default doc type in the editor options to ASPX? It's the only thing I can think of I've done that's not default.
Thanks much.
