How can I access the property a control on a master page from the master page's code behind.

On my master page I have a label. I want to change this label's text property based on an element of the querystring. (label.text = "NewValue")

All child pages using this master will display the same thing so I was trying to put the code in the master page so as not to have to duplicate it for the child pages or put it in a base class and use FindControl.

Is it possible to access from a master page's codebehind the property of a server control that is placed on a master page's aspx? If so how?
(I saw similar questions, but they all came from the view of a child accessing the property.)

Thank you,

Greg

It works just like any other page with controls on them. You can access them directly from the master page code behind.

Accessing directly, in the manner described below, did not work for me.

If I drag a textbox control (TextBox1) onto the MasterPage.aspx and in the codebehind reference the text box in this manner "TextBox1.Text = "Hello World", despite code completion indicating the presence of the control, when I compile the webproject I get the error "Error 4 The name 'TextBox1' does not exist in the current context".

If I refer to the textbox in this manner "this.TextBox1.Text = "Hello World" on compile I get the error "Error 5 'MasterPage' does not contain a definition for 'TextBox1' "

I am using a Web Application Project (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnvs05/html/WAP.asp)

Can you post some code so we can see what you're doing, it's hard to tell from the thread so far.

Thanks

Problem Solved: I messed up. A reserved word was used as the name for the MasterPage. While this did not cause a compile error. It did interfere with functionality.
