Nivedita’s Weblog

Master Page: master page is a page that contains the template for the content pages related to it.

User Control: User Control are pages with .ascx extension that contains static html contents.These files cannot be viewed directly. They need to be put inside the container say webform(.aspx page) .

 The difference is nothing but master page is available with vs2005. S the previous versions used user controls to style the webform.
