I have a master page that contains an html form and a few server controls (dropdown, textbox). When I perform a postback, to
which page does the form post back - the master page or one of the content pages?

Thanks,
Roshawn


P.S. I'm tired of experimenting for the day, so I thought I'd just ask this question instead. :-)

If you remember that a MasterPage isn't actually a 'page' at all - it's a
UserControl - then it should be clear to you...

When a content page is loaded either through redirection or postback, it
loads its associated MasterPage just like it would load any other
UserControl and constructs the page.

I wasn't aware of that...

Ok. That explains it. Thanks for the help.

Have a nice day, :-)

It's a common misconception - similarly, a lot of people first imagine that
MasterPages are somehow like framesets, and get annoyed at not being able to
make the MasterPage change the content page... :-)
