When I want to reference my master page I use the following:
<%@ MasterType  virtualPath="~/Layout.master"%>

Is there anyway I make this global within my project for all content 
pages? (in the web config or such)

Regards

Hi,

if you'd use Web Application project model in VS2005, you wouldn't have this 
issue basically because compilation happens beforehand and all types are 
known and available at that time. No need for separate directives etc.

Compilation and Deployment in ASP.NEt 2.0

I'm not aware that MasterType could be set globally.

I have looked at the web application Programming model, but I was 
confused at the inability to add an App_Code directory to the project.
I think I need to look into it a little more.
