I created an ASP.Net Web Application in VS
2010. That in turn creates an example Site.Master, Default.aspx, and several other example files.
I then opened Default.aspx in Expression Web 4 and get the error message
The Master Page file 'Site.Master'
cannot be loaded.
Default.aspx can still be displayed fine in VS
2010.
Source.Master:

Any idea how to get the master page to work properly in Expression Web 4?
