Answer / vdk
Master pages and user controils are two different concepts.
Master pages are used to provide the consistent layout and
common behaviour for multiple pages in your
applications.then u can add the Contenetplaceholder to add
child pages custom contenet.
User Controls:Sometimes u need the functionality in ur web
pages which is not possible using the Built-In Web server
controls then user can create his own controls called user
controls using asp.net builtin controls.User controlsn are
those with .aspx extensions and u can share it in the
application.

this can be a tricky question depending on the interviewer.
Masterpage IS a UserControl, and you can easily check this
either by exploring classes to which websites are being
compiled or simply noting :
public class MasterPage : UserControl
semanticaly, use of classical UserControl and Masterpage is
of course different, but this already has been elaborated in
other answers
