Base page refrence

[Guest]

I have a web page which inherits from another page called Basepage.
In the Base page class I want to get reference of any gridview which is in
derived page. How to do that?

Thanks

If you have fields defined for them on the base page, using
CodeFileBaseClass attribute helps.

Otherwise, using FindControl etc of course works.

No I don not have fields defined on the base page. I did findcontrol but i
did not get any control.
Please let me know in more details.

Post some code to demonstrate. Using FindControl should work, but of course
you must have protective logic in case separate subpages have different
kinds of controls you all query for.
