title: Page does not load the masterpage in asp.net 3.5
body: <p>I'm just starting with asp.net and followed a tutorial on how to make a masterpage, <a href="http://www.asp.net/web-forms/videos/building-35-applications/masterpages" rel="nofollow">http://www.asp.net/web-forms/videos/</a>.
  But having followed the tutorial i still couldn't make it work. I even used the same template which is used in the video.</p>
  
  <p>The code i have is auto-generated through the wizards of visual studio.</p>
  
  <p>To be more specific: I dont get any error messages just a plain page with the css which comes from a template i used from the tutorial. The div's with the menu and the rest does not show on screen. (should have written this in the first place)</p>
  
  <p>From the masterpage:
  <code>    </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="MenuContentPlaceHolder" runat="server"&gt;
      &lt;div id="header"&gt;
              &lt;p&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;Link 1&lt;/a&gt; . &lt;a href="#"&gt;Link 2&lt;/a&gt; . &lt;a href="#"&gt;Link 3&lt;/a&gt; . &lt;a href="#"&gt;Link 4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;
  
          &lt;div id="subheader"&gt;
                  &lt;p&gt;Apple Core 1.0&lt;/p&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;
  
          &lt;div id="menu"&gt;
                  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Menu 1&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;Menu 2&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;Menu 3&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;Menu 4&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;Menu 5&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;Menu 6 &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
          &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/asp:ContentPlaceHolder&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></code></p>
  
  <p>From default.aspx</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site1.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="WebApplication2.Default" %&gt;
  &lt;asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MenuContentPlaceHolder" runat="server"&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;h1&gt;Hey&lt;/h1&gt;
  &lt;/asp:Content&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Weird enough i seem to be able to get the menu to show up on screen when i completly remove the content tags from the default.aspx</p>
