    I have a Master Page that has a public method called UpdateLabels() that I need to call from a Content page.

    I tried Page.Master.UpdateLabels() but had no luck.

    Thanks,

    John

    The safest approach is to use an @ MasterType directive, that will give you a strongly typed Master property.

    I have an example here: http://odetocode.com/Blogs/scott/archive/2005/07/16/1944.aspx

    Thanks Scott,

    I wonder why master pages are not strongly typed by default. Each content page needs to specify a master page class, so it would seem logical that asp.net would see that as a strongly typed master page.
