Question : Master Page across several applications

I've been researching how to use Master Pages across several applications in ASP.NET 2.0.  From what I've read it sounds like you need to develop your application(s) and then create a virtual directory that points to the location of a Master Page.  Could someone tell me the steps they would take to do this?  I already have several applications developed and a Master Page developed.  So what I need to know is where should I place the Master Page, and how do I set up the virtual directories so that my applications will find the Master Page.

Answer : Master Page across several applications

have a look at this:

basically, it says to compile the application that has the master page and then put the assembly in the Global assembly cache
