Hi All,

In our current post we will see how to deploy Master page into SharePoint Environment.

Step 1: 

Create SharePoint Empty Project in our case “MasterPage_Deploy”.

Step 2: 

Now Add New Item (Ctrl+Shift+A) , Select “Module” from the Template provide the name(MasterFileModule) and click on Add button

In Module we can able to see one Elements.xml file and Sample.txt file. We can delete sample.txt file if we are not using, in this example we are not deleting.

Step 3: 

Now, create one folder and place your Master Page in it. We are creating folder just for the segregation and best practice.

Step 4: 

Now , Open Elements.xml and add the following attributes “URL” and “Type”

<File Path="MasterFileModule\MasterPage\SampleDemoMaster.master" Url="SampleDemoMaster.master" Type="GhostableInLibrary" />
