using a global variable set by master page

[Davids]

I am not having any success, in my master.cs page I assign a variable to be
used within all other pages:

public partial class MP_master
{
public string MyString = "this string is global";
}

well accessing it from other pages brings a "CS0103: The name 'MyString'
does not exist in the current context
" error?

Hi Davids:

The MyString field isn't really 'global' in the sense that you still
need an instance of MP_master to access the field. Perhaps you want to
mark MyString with the static keyword and associate the field with the
type? i.e: MP_master.MyString

found it...
what I forgot to do was to instantiate an inherited masterpage class:

MP_master masterpage = new MP_Master();
and then

masterpage.string = ...
