SPWeb.CustomMasterUrl Property (Microsoft.SharePoint)

Gets or sets the URL for a custom master page file to apply to the Web site.

Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint (in microsoft.sharepoint.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public Property CustomMasterUrl As String

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As SPWeb
Dim value As String

value = instance.CustomMasterUrl

instance.CustomMasterUrl = value

public string CustomMasterUrl { get; set; }

Property Value

String that contains the URL of the custom master page.

Remarks

The MasterUrl and CustomMasterUrl properties are both set to "/_catalogs/masterpage/default.master" by default. If you subsequently need to delete the default.master file, you must set both of those properties to a different value. If you set just one of them to a different value, an error is raised that suggests the default.master file is still being used as the master page for the site.

Meeting Workspaces and Publishing sites have different MasterUrl and CustomMasterUrl properties

Andy Burns | Edit | Show History

Both meeting workspaces and sites using the publishing feature can have different values for these properties. Indeed the meeting workspaces always have different values.

And setting them to different values didn't cause any kind of error.
