         {
            using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb("subsite"))
            {
               // Build a server-relative Url for a list item.
               string itemUrl = web.RootFolder.ServerRelativeUrl;
               itemUrl += "_catalogs/masterpage/default.master";

               // Get the list item.
