I am trying to access a label located in a MasterPage from a class
located in my application's App_Code folder. The problem seems to be
that the class cannot communicate with the MasterPage due to a lack of
reference to it. How do I supply a reference to the class so that it
can populate the label? My code is below...
*The reason I am doing it this way, is that I want the typical code
used to supply a string to the MasterPage label to be hidden away in
case I change it later on. Using an object to send a string to the
class allows me to do this without committing each and every page to a
specific method.*
``````````````` ``````````````` ``````````````` ``````````````` `
1) So, in my MasterPage I set up a simple Label control:
<asp:label id="lblLabel" runat="server" />
2) In a class stored in App_Code I set up a procedure to populate the
label in the MasterPage:
Public Namespace CustomClasses
Public Class MessageMaker
Public Sub CreateMessage(B yVal strMessage As String)
Dim lblError As Label
lblError = Master.FindCont rol("lblLabel")
lblError.Text = strMessage
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace
In a content page, I want a procedure to create that creates a message
in the MasterPage label. This will be used for all system messages sent
to the user.
Dim objMessage As New CustomClasses.M essageMaker()
objMessage.Crea teMessage("This is a Test") 2 2838
You may find it easier by changing the pattern:
Public Function CreateMessage(B yVal strMessage As String) As String
strMessage="Her e it is" & strMessage
return strMessage
End Function
In your page,
Dim objMessage As New CustomClasses.M essageMaker()
Dim lbl As Label = Master.FindCont rol("label1")
Dim msg as String =Master.FindCon trol(objMessage .CreateMessage( "This is a
Test")
lbl.Text=msg
Otherwise, you would need to figure out a way to pass the page context to
your class. You *CAN* do this if absolutely necessary:
Public Function CreateMessage(B yVal strMessage As String, ByRef Page as
System.Web.UI.P age) As String
' etc.
End Function
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply.
My goal, though, is to eliminate the "Master.FindCon trol('label1')" bit
of code from my content page and move that to the class in App_Code.
So, yes, I guess my goal is to pass the page context to the class. Is
the method you detailed a costly one in terms of resource usage?
