Re: Master page variable - access on content page

[Matty J]

Excellent, thanks Nathan.

The problem I'm having is that I want the variable set in the *Master*
page base class. Setting the variable in the Master Base Class
Page_PreInit event doesn't seem to happen before the Content Page Base
Class PreInit event, as casting the Master Page Base Class's public
variable in the Content Page Base Class only returns null...?

Also, 'Me.' does not seem to be working, do you mean 'this.'?

Cheers
Matt

Re: Master page variable - access on content page

Hi Nathan, and thanks again for your reply.

I managed to get it work, primarily by going back to basics and
building up from there, using your advice etc., so that I didn't have
so many variables affecting it.

These two articles were particularly good help:

http://www.odetocode.com/articles/450.aspx

http://www.asp.net/learn/master-pages/tutorial-06-cs.aspx

I think in the end I was using events such as BasePage_PreIni t as per
in the first example, thinking that it was an actual .NET event when
it wasn't, so it actually needed to be added to the PreInit event.

Do you know of any actual list of the exact event names of master/
content page load?

Cheers
Matt
