ReSharper allows you to generate content for ASP.NET web forms and master pages according to content placeholders defined in the related master page files.

note

This operation is only available if the master page (or the base master page) related to the file defines some placeholders that do not have corresponding content units in the file.

Generate content for placeholders

  1. In the editor, open an .aspx or .master file and place the caret where you want to generate a Content control.

  2. Press AltInsert or choose ReSharper | Edit | Generate Code… from the main menu. Alternatively, you can press CtrlShift0A, start typing the command name in the popup, and then choose it there.

  3. In the Generate menu, choose Content for Placeholders.

  4. On the Generate content for masterpage's content placeholder page of the Generate wizard, select ContentPlaceHolder controls from a master page to generate related Content controls in the current file.

  5. As an option, use Copy default content, if ContentPlaceHolder control contains default content and you want to copy it to the content page.

  6. You can click Advanced and then Next to view exactly what controls will be created.

  7. Click Finish to complete the wizard.
