ERROR Content controls have to be top-level controls in a content page or a nested master page that references a master page.
This all used to work until about 5 minutes ago. Did I change something? For some reason I am now getting this error: Content controls have to be top-level controls in a content page or a nested master page that references a master page. What I have: I have a masterpage inside of a directory. That directory is a first level directory with its own web.config file....The whole thing is protected by the web.config file above it (in the main public directory). That main public directory has a masterpage as well. I am not currently linking the two masterpages together becuase...
Content controls have to be top-level controls in a content page or a nested master page that references a master page.
Why in the world am I getting this error?
The solutions I have seen either don't apply or don't work.

Try checking the IIS logs and see what page was requested that generated this error. Normally you'd only see this if the master page directive is missing, so if you are dynamically creating pages in any way this may be getting missed.

Show content in both Master Page ContentPlaceholder AND Content Page Content control
I note that by default or rendering rules,
when you add content/controls to the Content Page ASP:Content control matched to a Master Page ContentPlaceholder,
any content/controls in the matching Master Page ContentPlaceholder is not displayed.
Is there a setting that can be made to merge or show both
content/controls in the Master Page ContentPlaceholder
and
content/controls in the matching Content Page Content control?
Thanks
Don't think so. If you specify a content control in your page then whatever is in there displays and anything in the matching contentplaceholder does not display. If you wan tthem both to display why don't you put whatever you currently have in the contentplaceholder on the masterpage directly onto the master page (or into a regular placeholder on the master page if you want to be able to show and hide it based on something going on) and then leave the contentplaceholder empty and that way when your page is rendered you'll always get both sets of content renderd (unless you put the stuff you currently have in the contentplaceholder in a placeholder and set its visibility to false.)

expose the dropdownlist as a public property on the masterpage, then, from your page, you can do:Page.Master.Master.DropdownlistIDHope this helps !Rinze Cats---------please select 'mark as answer' if this post helped you!
