Master Pages for large web sites

Question

I've just been learning about master pages in ASP.NET 2.0.

They sound great, but how well do they work in practice?

Does anybody have experience of using them for a large web site?

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure I've only used master pages in the context of ASP.NET MVC so I'm not sure if it differs from web forms but in my experience they are not only excellent but I couldn't imagine not using them. Master pages are code inheritance to web pages.
