ASP.NET 2.0 Master Page public properties

Joel Reinford

I am attempting to learn how to use Master Pages in ASP.NET 2.0 and am
having no success in getting the content page to see the public properties
in the master page. I am using code beside and have tried both with and
without namespace references.

Can anyone give me any suggestions on what I need to do to make the master
page public properties accessible to the content page?

There was some related master pages discussion just a few days ago, I
think that might give some hints:

Hey Joel,

The best way to understand the master pages is to assume that it is a kind
of user control. So if you try to access the variables in the master page
using page_load event of the other page (say, webform1.aspx), you will not be
successful in doing that.

What you need to do is to use, the page_init method in the webform1.aspx and
access the variables as...

Response.write( CType(Me.Master , MasterPage).Var iableName)

HTH!

Thanks Remy

This thread got me headed in the right direction. The answer is to put an
@MasterType declaration in the content pages. It has this form:
<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/default.master" %>

Once that's been done, I can access the properties of the master page.

For example, assume the very top level master is called CompanyWide.master. And the nested master page is called DepartmentA.master, which inherits from CompanyWide master. ...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
