I'm going over some ASP.NET tutorials and the first one I'm looking at is how to make a Master Page. When I do create a master page, I get an error:
Value cannot be null. Parameter name: frameworkName
It occurs in the first line of my master page (MasterPage.master) and it's the default page that gets created- I haven't modified it at all:
<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="MasterPage.master.cs" Inherits="MasterPage" %>
Could somebody tell me what is the frameworkName
parameter and how can I get rid of this error? FYI: I'm using Visual Studio 2010.

This is a bug in VS 2010:
The reason you are seeing this error is that there are assembly references in the xaml which you are failing to resolve. There is a startpage.csproj in the same directory as the .xaml file. Please copy both to the new folder and open the project file in VS2010. This should work.

Here is master file that I currently have, so I would check for missing assemblies?:
<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Site.master.cs" Inherits="SiteMaster" %>
Can you also recreate the solution and import into the new .sln file ?
