Masterpage and Label control?

[Guest]

Hi,

I have Master page and a Label control on it.
I would like to set the Text property for that label from Default.aspx on
page load event where Default.aspx belongs to the Master page.

How can I reach the label control on the master page from other pages?

Thanks in advanced for any help,
Asaf

You can try to use the Page.Master property to access the generic master,
then cast it to the type of master such as ((myMaster)Page.Master).MyLabel

Hope this helps,

Hi Mark,

I am receiving the error:

'MasterPage.lblTest1' is inaccessible due to its protection level.

Hi Mark,

I have found the solution.

Label objLBL = (Label)Master.FindControl("lblTest");
objLBL.Text = "ABC";

Hi Asaf,

Thanks for sharing your solution with us.

As for data sharing between master page and concrete pages in ASP.NET 2.0,
you can also consider using custom properties. The "Page" class in ASP.NET
2.0 contains a "Master" property which refers to the page's master page(if
the page has applied a certain master page). Therefore, you can cast this
"Master" property into the exact type of the master page and access any
custom property defined in that master page class. e.g.

=======master page===========
public partial class App_Masters_MForm : System.Web.UI.MasterPage
{

public string TextBox1Text
{
get
{
return TextBox1.Text;
}
}
..................

========================

========concrete page=========
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string txt = ((App_Masters_MForm)Master).TextBox1Text;

Response.Write("<br/>TextBox1Text: " + txt);
}
====================

The above master page class(App_Masters_MForm) uses a custom
property(TextBox1Text) to expose its inner control. Thus, the concrete page
can access that custom property through the converted master page property.

Hope this also helps.
