Cascade Master Pages properties [modified]
-
Hi, I have a big MasterPage (MasterPage_System) e several MasterPages inheriting (don't think it's the right word) this master page. My question is: Could a web page using a MasterPage_A (that already uses my MasterPage_System) access the MasterPage_System properties? I tried in the Page_Load method something like this: ((MasterPage_System)(Master.Master)).MyProperty = true; but it doesn't work :(
Thanks, Dirso

Go into the debugger and walk the tree of objects to find where your class instance is. I always derive all pages from my own custom base page, so that I can access a strongly typed version of my master page without having to cast every time.
