Following on from Sean's comments, I wonder if you're confusing ASP.NET
MasterPages with HTML framesets - they are quite different...

With traditional HTML framesets, the user clicks a hyperlink in the 'menu'
frame and this causes a new page to be displayed in the 'main' frame.

However, MasterPages don't work like that at all. In fact, a MasterPage is
nothing more than a UserControl... MasterPages allow common look and feel
(and sometimes functionality) across several content pages - think of them
as templates. When a content page loads, it loads the MasterPage every
time. Therefore, if you have a TreeView in a MasterPage and click on one
of its nodes, it redirects to that file which in turn loads up the
MasterPage...

Thanks Sean and Mark.

I have a table in my master page: header, footer, treeview and detail view.
should I use frameset here? If yes how? If now how do you design such
things?
I want when user click on a node in tree, only detail view is updated and
not the whole page. Is there any sample application that shows how this can
be implemented?
