Hello folks,

This is my problem. I have put a Label (it is called Label1) in my Masterpage and I´ve configured as not visible at the beginning. I have a file called "ChooseNumber.aspx". In this file there´s button and when is pressed I want to make the label visible first and also give a value to it. But in "ChooseNumber.aspx" file I don´t have access to this component because they are in different programs. What advice to you give me to solve my problem?

Thank you very much. 

expose the label as public property in the master apge and then

add the below to content aspx

<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="[urmasterpage path]" %>

and then u can access label using

Master.urlabelproperty

 Thanks for the information.

Just a question: how do I make the label public?
 

I believe Shavas meant create a public property accessible from the content page which can then be used to alter the text of the private label. Something like this:

Public Property MasterLabel() as string
Get
  Return MyLabel.Text
End Get
Set (ByVal value As String)
  Mylabel.Text=Value
  MyLabel.Visible=True
End Set
End Property

 You can then access this property from your Content page like so.

Master.MasterLabel = "Whatever text I want to put in my label"

Hope this solves your problem.

I´ve tried to write your code but doesn´t recognize the function. I´ve written  <%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/AppMaster.master"%> in my aspx file. I´ve written the code above in MasterPage.master.cs file in this way:

public string MasterLabel
    {
        get {return Label1.Text;}
        set {Label1.Visible=true; Label1.Text="parameter that this function receives";}
    }

I want to pass an argument to this function (the text the label will show) but oesn´t accept any argument and if I write an argument get and set properties are not recognized.

No idea what´s wrong. Please help!
 

I'm not familiar with C# so this may be the same as what you've already got but try this...

public string MasterLabel {
    get { return MyLabel.Text; }
    set {
        Mylabel.Text = value;
        MyLabel.Visible = true;
    }
}

 Its a direct conversion from the code I posted.

I don't know if there is something different between C# and VB.Net but you should be able to just do Master.MasterLabel = "hello jello". Perhaps a C# expert could weigh in with a little help if this doesn't solve it...?

EDIT: Try adding the following into your @page directive as well as the @MasterType you already have..

 MasterPageFile="~/Reports.master"

It's straight after Language in mine.

 Hi hermiod,

hermiod:

It doesn´t recognize MasterPageFile in @page directory.

Anyway, thank you very much hermiod. I hope a c# expert will help me with this.

It doesn´t recognize MasterPageFile in @page directory.

Sorry I wanted to say that doesn´t recognize Report.master in MasterPageFile . 

Sorry I should've been clearer on that, Change 'Reports.master' to the name of your master file.
