asp.net 2.0 master pages

[ICW]

Is it possible to add a master page after I have created a few pages and then link them retrospectively as opposed to creating the master page first?

I can't see how to do this, I have added a master page but I cannot get my other pages to see/use it.


thanks

Very simple! Just remove all the tags and leave the things that appear on the ceratin page.
Then add this lines to your page .aspx respectivelly entering the name of the master page and content.

These two overviews are good to start learning and see the possibilities and limitations of Master Pages:
