Hi,

I've followed this link http://forums.asp.net/p/980694/1266579.aspx#1266579 while trying to access my master page public properties.

My master page is located on the web site root. I'm using a web site solution (not a web app).

I've created a class driven from System.Web.UI.Page on the App_Code folder:

Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic

Public Class myPage

    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Public Shadows ReadOnly Property Master() As myMaster

        Get

            Return CType(MyBase.Master, myMaster)

        End Get

    End Property

End Class

I'm getting an error "type 'myMaster' is not defined" (I get the same error if I try to use ASP. myMaster)

I guess that if I'll place the master page on the App_Code folder every thing will be fine, but I don't like this approach.

Is there's a way around?

Thanks

Z.

 I'm not sure what you're trying to do but you don't place the master page in the app_code directory, bad idea.

As in the link above, I want to create a new base class for my pages, driven from the page class. By shadowing the Master property I won't have to place the <%@ MasterType TypeName="MYMaster.MasterPage" %> tag on each page.

Placing the master page in the App_Code folder is not an option...

Hi,

Using the @ MasterType directive in the ASPX which is a strongly typed Master Page. You don’t need a cast, we can go right to access the Master property.

If you don't want to add @MasterType directive for each content page, you need to use a cast to get the MasterPage reference and access the master page for a web form using the inherited Master property.

hope it helps.

I'll be more spesific... that's my problem:
