If the page is in your sub site then it will work and it will also use the ghosted page if the page is not customized.

FYI, I tried
"~masterurl/mymaster.master" and it did not work.

Then I tried
"_catalogs/masterpage/MyMaster.master" and it ALSO did not work.

But
"~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/mymaster.master"
DID work. Thanks Rich. I would never have even known about that.

You should use the sitecollection token to reference the masterpage catalog, like this:
MasterPageFile=>~sitecollection/_catalogs/masterpage/mymaster.master"

this way you can leverage the page in other site collections

hi, I was able to fix this error.

it occurs because of this part in code:
MasterPageFile="~masterurl/default.master"

when you try to put other master page, the "~" sign is throwing error.

to get around the problem, simply change the URL to:
MasterPageFile="_catalogs/masterpage/MyMaster.master"
this will read the master page directly from the folder and won't throw errors anymore.
