Once we have strongly typed the MasterPage using MasterType we can access
its members directly.
Master.category name = "new items";
This gets a bit more complex and requires a cast when attempting to
reference controls in the MasterPage or in the ContentPlaceHol der.
Label lbl = (Label)Master.F indControl("Lab elID");
It can also require compound statements when the control is a child of
another control such as when trying to reference a TableRow that is set to
runat="server" as I've used the following example to show how such
referencing can be used to reference the row to toggle its display on and
off from the server simulating an expand/collapse event.
// Page.Controls[0].FindControl(Co ntentPlaceHolde rID).FindContro l(Control)
TableRow ctl =
(TableRow)Page. Controls[0].FindControl("C enterPanelConte nt").FindContro l("Table1").Fin dControl("R2");

working
