<h2>This is the content of a nested Master Page.</h2>
<div>
<asp:contentplaceholder id="ContentPlaceHolder2" runat="server">
</asp:contentplaceholder>
</div>
</asp:Content>
The following code example demonstrates how to use a content page named ContentPage
that references the ChildMasterPage_1
that was created in the preceding code example.
