PostBackURL with master page causes Object reference not set error

Hi

I have two pages which both use the same master page.

Page one contains an asp:textbox control and an asp:button control with
it's PostBackUrl property set to the second page.

The "code behind" of the receiving page contains the following page
which results in "Object reference not set..."

Dim txtTest As TextBox =
CType(Page.Prev iousPage.FindCo ntrol("txtTest" ), TextBox)

Response.Write( txtTest.Text)

I have tried adding "PreviousPageTy pe" and "Reference" directive tags
to the receiving page and all result in the same error message.

This is extremely frustrating and if anyone could suggest what I might
be doing wrong then I'd be very grateful.

I haven't managed to find any "PostBackUr l" examples that use master
pages.

Thanks in anticipation
David

So I have been working on an opensource project for a while, and decided to really try to make it look better after focusing on the functionality most of this time. Up to now, I have simply used a standard ASPX page with minor modifications to it. All of my pages inherit from a "BasePage.cs" class, that handles common things like getting the user's information out of the session, determines if a page should or should not be password...

All, I am having trouble using the PostBackUrl feature in .NET 2.0. I have several User Controls that are on a MasterPage. The User Controls contain the form fields for a basic search on available homes and properties in a given area. I put these form fields into User Controls because they will be repeated in different ways throughout the site and it would be nice to only update the fields from one place to make a site wide change.

I have a search box on my master page. The results are on a child page. To do this I changed the postbackurl to the childpage and on the childpage I have an asp:controlparameter matching the name of the control on the master page. The first time I press the button on the master page it goes to the child page, but no results are displayed in my gridview. The second time I press my button (which is still the master page button no other...

Hi, I have done a fair amount of style editing inline in ASP. I'm now using VS 2005 with a standard web project (not Web Application Project). This is my first foray into CSS in a style sheet and also my first true attempt at using master pages. I tried setting up a style sheet with a simple setting to float an image to the right and it had no effect on the image. Then, I tried putting the style code in my ASPX file as such,

I have been reading Scott Allen's article on Master Pages (http:// odetocode.com/Articles/450.aspx) but I am having problems understanding a concept. Specifically, I have created a property (called "CurFlag") on my master page that can be accessed from content pages, but not from separate code modules. I tried doing something like this in my VB code module: Dim myMaster As MasterPage = CType(ProjectMgmt.Master, MasterPage)

Hi, I'm trying to move all my custom validation code into the master page. Unfortunately anytime I use the response, request, or trace objects in any master page module (other than page_load), " Object reference not set to an instance of an object." is the error I receive. Below is a sample of code that will not work on my web server. Any suggestions/advice are appreciated.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
