Is there a way around this or is it a limitation of nested master pages?</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9286138" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdevelopertips/archive/2008/12/06/tip-33-did-you-know-how-to-create-nested-master-pages-using-vs-2008.aspx#9197715Thu, 11 Dec 2008 21:24:07 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9197715Visual Studio Hacks<p>My latest in a series of the weekly, or more often, summary of interesting links I come across related to Visual Studio.
