I have created custom master page with custom elements included according to this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg447066.aspx
I want to have a Suggestions form in header area where users can leave their comments/suggestions on what functionality they would like to have.
For example:
-
User goes to company team site and notes that it would be great to have a clock on it
-
User fills the Suggestions form and the suggestion is emailed to me
-
Now I decide will I implement/develop it or not
I have placed all html elements and now I need code implementation. My question is: “How to code html elements to achieve desired functionality?”.
Tried to follow up through this solution to add code behind masterpage: http://rburgundy.wordpress.com/2010/03/10/sharepoint-2010-custom-masterpage-with-code-behind-file-%E2%80%93-part-2/
but I get an error which I don’t know how to handle.
Here is the error:
Parser Error Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a

appropriately. Parser Error Message: Could not load the assembly

I need to implement _starter.cs file as code-behind masterpage.
Don’t bother with webparts in your master page.
Delegate control is your friend.

You can write your delegate control to be full postback or Ajax, implementation is up to you.
Personally, having webparts in masterpage is a no-no for me, that’s what page layouts are for. In masterpage, delegate control is THE prefered method to have custom html/code rendering.
