public sub (on master page) not visible after upgrade form 2.0 2005to 2008 3.5

[NotTooSerious]

Hi I have just upgraded a project from 2005 net 2.0 frame work to 2008
net 3.5 frame work
On the (single not nested) master page I have a lable which is wrapped
in a public sub to set its text and fore colour
The content pages which inherit from the master page do not now see
the public sub and give a compile error

I've deleted the sub saving the project and adding the public sub back
again - no joy

How do I declare a sub of a master page which is visible to the conten
pages please?

The content pages which inherit from the master page

The content pages inherit from the MasterPage?

do not now see the public sub and give a compile error

And what is the compile error?

How do I declare a sub of a master page which is visible to the content
pages please?

Have you forgotten to reference the Master Page through the Page.Master
property or set the @MasterType directive in the aspx file...?
