Your question probably isn't for this list. However and so as not to keep you hanging dry (apologies to list admins), a year ago I came away from the idea of ASP.NET master pages as a nice idea but a great development time waster (wasted two years). Theory simply didn't meet fact. You may care to look at Rails and Django as frameworks far more friendly towards CSS layout than .NET. A couple of useful lists for .NET stuff are http://www.MsWebDev.org.uk/ and http://discuss.develop.com.
