And your reason for using Webforms/MasterPages is..... ?
:-)
I think this is largely being chucked out with the move to v8 - so you might just be best investing your time converting your legacy webforms code, over to MVC :-)
If you're not keen on keeping up with the hipsters (C#, MVC e.t.c). They I'd probably advise to keep to the v7.5 branch then. It's a lot more stable, and should support WebForms no problems.
It shouldn't matter what language/technology you use - and as long as there's a setting that allows you to use Masterpages, the behavior in Umbraco should of course honor that.
Filing a bug is the way to go — and if you happen to know how to fix it, fixing it and submitting a PR is another cool way to make it better :-)
7.6.1 Template will not create MasterPages
I am trying out Umbraco 7.6.1 for a new site on .NET 4.6.2
I installed from NuGet.
I changed to
<templates> <defaultRenderingEngine>WebForms</defaultRenderingEngine> </templates>I restarted my Application Pool, but when I got to my backend and create a new template the system creates an MVC view and not a masterpage.
I have created a masterPage in Visual Studio in the Masterpages folder and uploaded it.
I then even tried to delete the Views file on the server, but that still does not work.
Please help
I've just tried another install of 7.6.1 and same problem

Because I know how to work in VB/MasterPages and with all the work on my plate, I don't have time to learn a new language.
I appreciate your helpful response

Who has time to learn a whole new language?
Some of us have work to do..
If Umbraco plans on stopping their support of WebForms then I would like to hear them say that, if this is just a bug...
Where can I file Bug Reports?
