I don't know about a "good" way, but the obvious way is to add a master
page to the project, then convert each page to use content controls.

So far i get some unusual errors when i try to apply
to existing pages.

Well, something a bit more explicit would be useful. What errors, where
and when?

thanks for replying,
i'm not really looking for an answer to the erors i'll get to those.
However, i am looking for a general how-to. do you know of an artical? or a
step-by-step?

thanks

Well, it's so simple that you don't really need an article. Once you
have your master page, you know the contentplaceholder ID(s). You open
up each individual page and delete all the stuff that is now in the
master page (probably the header and footer stuff), then just place
<asp:Content> tags around what's left. Make sure that the
contentplaceholderID of each content tag matches one in the master file.

It's even easier in practice than it sounds ;-)
