RE: Accessing MasterPage Properties from a usercontrol on a
contentpage??


On my master page's codebehind I have this property:


Public Property ErrorMsg() As String
Get
Return ErrorLabel.Text
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
ErrorLabel.Text = value
End Set
End Property


I've got this on the contentpage,


<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="ShapeUp.master" %>


and I confirmed I can can set the property from the content page.

However on my content page, I have a user control

From inside that user control, I can see all the other properties from
Page.Master , but not ErrorMsg I created on the master page
codebehind.

Also, I've tried this, but it does not work

Dim errorMsg As Label = CType(Page.Master.FindControl("ErrorMsg"),
Label)
errorMsg.Text = "xxxx"

Do I have no choice but to code event handling?


Thanks for any help or information.

Hi...

did you tried casting the Page.Master to your class
code in c# will look like this
string msg = (Page.Master as ShapeUp).ErrorMsg;

Masudur

www.shatkotha.com

Thanks. I tried this, but it never set the property on the master's
ErrorMsg.

Dim msg As String = TryCast(Page.Master, Master_Shapeup).ErrorMsg
msg = "WTF"

Note: If I simply do

Master.ErrorMsg from the contentpage where the control lives it sets
it.

Am I going to have to do this with event handling? If so, I'm not sure
how.
