I'm very new to ASP.NET, help me please understand MasterPages conception more.
I have Site.master with common header data (css, meta, etc), center form (blank) and footer (copyright info, contact us link, etc).
<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Site.master.cs" Inherits="_SiteMaster" %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="tagHead" runat="server">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<form id="frmMaster" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="holderForm" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="holderFooter" runat="server">Some footer here</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
and I want to use second master page for a project into sub directory, which would contains SQL query on Page_Load for logging (it isn't necessary for whole site).
<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Project.master.cs" Inherits="_ProjectMaster" MasterPageFile="~/Site.master" %>
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="holderForm" runat="server">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="holderForm" runat="server" EnableViewState="true"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="holderFooter" runat="server">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="holderFooter" runat="server" EnableViewState="true"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</asp:Content>
But I have a problem: footer isn't displayed.
Where is my mistake? Am I right to use second master page as super class for logging?
Project page looks like this:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" MasterPageFile="~/Project.master" %>
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="holderForm" runat="server">
<p>Hello World!</p>
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="holderFooter" runat="Server">
Some footer content
</asp:Content>

I've been working with nested master pages and have run in to something similar. From what I see where you have "Some footer here" in the Site.Master is where the problem lies and I've had similar problems with having content with-in a contentplaceholder tag. if you try this instead
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="holderFooter" runat="server"/>Some footer here
Then you should be able to see the footer content.

I'm not sure I'd use master pages for this. If it's really just going to do logging, I'd implement IHttpModule, register it in web.config, and then check whether or not to log based on the path of the request. I think of master pages as being about content rather than other processing such as logging.
See the IHttpModule walkthrough on MSDN for an example - in your BeginRequest handler, you'd probably check the request path and log appropriately if it matched.
Apologies if I misunderstood what you're trying to do though.
