In the main page load method:
UserControl myMasterControl = (UserControl)this.Master.FindControl("myCntrl");
string myProperty = myMasterControl.ConCatStr;

I tried doing what you mentioned. Did not work! Do I need to assign an ID to the user control? Without that I am not able to findControl on the page.
<ucl:myCntrl runat="server" id="uclCntrl" /> On page load: Dim ucl As System.Web.UI.UserControl ucl = Me.Master.FindControl("uclCntl") Response.Write("Found User control " & (Not ucl Is Nothing) & " !") ' I get True for this ucl.Test() 'ERROR: Test is not a member of System.Web.UI.UserControl
What is wrong here?
