Referencing Master Page from a Web Control

[PJ]

I am trying to get reference to a Master page from a web user control.
However, I cannot seem to even access the type. I have been referencing the
master page in forms by declaring the master attribute atop the .aspx page.
This works fine, but this attribute is not recognized in controls.

Thanks

Try using Page.Master as your reference to the Master page, as long as the
MasterType directive is in your ASPX file. I haven't tried myself, but it
seems logical.

Yes, but then I would have to cast it. And again, for some reason I can't
even reference the type.

You might try using a common namespace for everything (Master page, page,
user control) and see if this helps.
