Retrieve text from MasterPage Textbox4/20/2006 8:08:06 AM

0/0

Hi All,

From my content page, I would like to get the text from a textbox that is on the MasterPage.

On my content page, I have added the <%@ MasterType VirtualPath="MasterPage.master" %>

However when I use the FindControl method and attempt to populate a textbox on the content page with the data from the masterpage textbox, nothing is passed.

Any ideas ?

Thanks
Dan

You're probably not finding the control when you call FindControl. This can happen if you're not calling FindControl against the naming container of the control you want. If you are doing Master.FindControl("mycontrol") but mycontrol is on the master page but inside a naming container control the FindControl won't find it. You would have to call Master.FindControl("namingControl") and then do a FindControl on that for your control. Maybe if you show us the content of your MasterPage.master we can help figure out what you need to do exactly to find your textbox.

You also need to make sure you aren't doing this too early in the page's life cycle otherwise the control won't exist yet.

I have a couple examples in my Master Pages: Tips, Tricks, Traps article. There are some alternatives presented, including how to use FindControl, and how to expose the TextBox as a strongly typed property of the master page.
