Recently I was tasked with finding a way to have all of our asp.net applications under one parent application. The goal was to provide a seamless look and feel to all of our applications and to minimize the duplication of resources such as stylesheets and javascript files. The problem I was having a hard time solving was finding a way to allow the developers to create new applications on their computers without having to maintain a full copy of the parent application. However, this created problems with implementing MasterPages, since MasterPages cannot be implemented across multiple applications. Having all applications under a central parent application would almost make authentication and authorization easier to implement and maintain across all of the applications.
