You have to declare the master page that should be used in your page directive like

HTML

<% @ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/Master.master" Title="Content Page 1" %>

But that most probably won't be enough since using a master page also requires defining the Content controls in your existing page. You should have a look e.g. at

Add this property in your page directive.

C#

<%@ Page MasterPageFile="myMaster.master" %>

The you need to remove everything apart from the contents of the form tag.

XML

<asp:Content id="ContentPlaceholder2" runat="server" ContentPlaceholderId="MasterID">

 paste content of form tag

</asp:Content>

ContentPlaceholderId id must be id of ContentPlaceHolderfrom master page.

If you have not created the master page when you were creating the page or previously created page. That case you have to do it manually

First you have add the following code as follows
1. Mention the Master Page File path in the Page Directory

ASP.NET

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default1.aspx.cs" Inherits="Default1" Title="Untitled Page" %>

2. Then add the content place holder code next to the page declarative code.

ASP.NET

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server"> <asp:Content>

3. Then remove HTML tags from

HTML

<HTML>up to <FORM>tag

Be sure that you have not runat=server in form tag or delete FORM tag from that page.why?because master page form tag contain the runat=server attribute.
so you should not have the another form tag in the child form with runat=server.
This way you can make the existing page to the master paged one.
