FROM BOOK: To reference public properties in a master page, we add the @MasterType declaration to the content page and reference the property using Master.<PropertyName>.
QUESTION: But what happens internally? Does all of the master's and content page's properties, function gets complied into one class? Or something else?
to whom it may concern,
I wish to access a public property in a master page from a nested content page
is there anyway to do that without using "master type"
i found this link
http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t110057-accessing-properties-from-nested-master-pages.html
but i dont understand what "companywide" is
((CompanyWide)this.Master.Page.Master).HtmlTitle = "now it is working";
i dont want to use "MasterType" i would rather cast..
In a webforms app, I used to be able to access the master page to hide a link as follows through a property...
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
HeaderFooter m = Master as HeaderFooter;
m.ShowHomePageLink = true;
}
However, when I try this in my MVC View, I can access the property but it doesn't hide the link as expected. It's as if the View is already rendered.
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
<%
MyApp.MasterPages.HeaderFooter m = Master as MyApp.MasterPages.HeaderFooter;
m.ShowHomePageLink = true;
%>
...
</asp:Content>
My project has the following repeater menu shown on the Master Page. I need this menu to remain hidden until the user logs in. How do I access from content page?

I have a web page (Orders.aspx) that gets some orders and show them in a Gridview .The orders list I get from DB is depend on a field named Status. The page has a master page that contains a Tab user control. The user control has several tabs and every tab has a different Status. Therefor, when the user clicks on every tab, I want to pass a value as status to my content page (Orders.aspx) and then select the orders from DB based on status.

I have a master page setup that is used throughout my site that is basically a header with a menu. I recently added a textbox and a button to this master page which is to be a quick search box that is available anywhere in the site. When a user enters text into the search box and hits the button, I need to load the actual content page which is used to search and show search results (which also uses this same master page), and have the text entered available so the search can be triggered automatically. Again, this search text box and button is now in my master page so it could be triggered from anywhere in the app... it serves as a convenient way to do a basic search from anywhere in my app, without having to first navigate to the actual 'search page' that already exists. You can also navigate to the actual search page, which uses the same master page, where there is many more search options.I'm thrown off by the master page arrangement, which I have not used until this project. What do I do?

I have a user control in the master of my website and I want change some property of that control from the content page.
View 3 RepliesAll I want to do is access the <body> element from the code-behind of a content page and add a class name to it.
I have a top-level master page with the <body> element in it. Then I have a nested master page which is the master page for the content page. From the code behind of the content page I want to add a class name to the body element. That's all.
I have this in the top-level master:
<body id="bodyNode" runat="server">
I added this to the code-behind for the content page:
Master.bodyNode.Attributes.add("class", "home-page");
And I get a message that:
System.Web.UI.MasterPage' does not contain a definition for 'bodyNode
If I add this to the aspx content page:
<% @ MasterType VirtualPath="~/MasterPage.master"%>
The message then changes to:
bodyNode is inaccessible due to its protection level

Does any know why I can't access the my custom user control StatusBar which is declared inside a masterPage?
In the ContentPage, I tried referencing the control this way "this.Site.stastusBar" and "this.Master.Status" and neither one works. Both instellisense warns me that "statusBar" does not exist.
