Set custom master page

When using a custom master page with SharePoint you need to set all your sub sites to use the same master page.

Here is a function that will recursively change the master page for all sub sites.
Just call if from you feature receiver passing in the master page, the web you want to start with, and if you want to include sub sites.

       /// <summary>
       /// Sets the custom master page URL for the site.
       /// </summary>
       /// <param name="masterPage">Master page name.</param>
       /// <param name="web">Site that you want to set the mater page.</param>
       /// <param name="includeSubSites">Allows you to set all sub-sites as   well.</param>
       public static void SetCustomMasterPage(string masterPage, SPWeb web, bool includeSubSites)
       {
           web.CustomMasterUrl = GetMasterPageUrl(masterPage);
           web.Update();

           if (includeSubSites)
           {
               foreach (SPWeb child in web.Webs)
               {
                   SetCustomMasterPage(masterPage, child, true);
                   child.Dispose();
               }
           }
       }
