When a page that uses a master page (i.e. a content page) is requested, ASP.NET merges the content page and master page together (assuming both have been compiled) by inserting the master page’s content at the beginning of the content page’s control tree. This means that the master page content is actually a control added to the page. By Randy Connolly. 0421
