ASP.NET Virtual application having same look as Root application
<p>I have a situation where I have several root applications that will reference the same virtual application.  The root applications are the "branded" front-ends that are fairly light, with the virtual application doing most of the work.</p>

<p>I was planning on having the virtual application use the Master File of the root application by referencing it with a "/" prefix, but have found out the hard way that this isn't allowed.</p>

<p>I have seen options such as compiling the Master Page as a .dll but I don't think I can apply this to me scenario because the Master Page will be different for every root application.</p>

<p>Does anybody have any ideas on what I can do as an alternative?  Is it possible to get creative with an inline Response.WriteFile call from the virtual to the root calling User Controls, or is there a downside to this?</p>

<p>Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!</p>
