Hi Everyone.

I'm new to asp.net but I know html etc css very good, how ever I don't understand where I am going wrong in the Visual Web Matrix. This is the link I have got upto - Click me

My main default page has the coding:

ASP.NET

 <%@ Page Title="Home" MasterPageFile="Site.master" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>ASP Web Forms Demo</title>
</head>

<body>
<asp:Content ID="Content" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
  <h1>Welcome to W3Schools</h1> 
  <h2>Web Site Main Ingredients</h2>
  <p>A Home Page (Default.aspx)</p>
  <p>A Style Sheet (Site.css)</p>
  <p>A Layout File (Site.master)</p>
</asp:Content>
</body>

</html>

Now this is my master page

ASP.NET

<%@ Master Language="VB" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head id="head" runat="server">
  <title></title>
  <link href="Site.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>

<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div id="main">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="MainContent" runat="server"/>
<p>© <%=DateTime.Now.Year%> W3Schools. All rights reserved.</p>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

I don't understand where I am going wrong, I keep getting a parse error

Do you realise that W3Schools is a copyrighted identity?

If you still want to use this one then you can use iframe attribute of html and then add src="your src to w3schools" :)

Just managed to work it out! Think I'm a right dummie!

All i needed to was put

ASP.NET

<asp:content id="Content" contentplaceholderid="MainContent" runat="server" xmlns:asp="#unknown"></asp:content>

Actually around from the to the tag

Glad I solved that one!
