How to control elements on a asp.net master page from child page

Question

I have a few pages on my asp.net website that I would like to turn off a control on the master page. Is there a way to communicate with the master page from a child page?

Answer 1

You need to use a MasterType directive in your page markup

<%@ MasterType TypeName="Namespace.Etc.MyMasterPage" %>

Then you will be able to access any public properties of the page's master page using

this.Master.PropertyIWantToIntefereWith...

Hope this helps
