User control in seperate folder

[ChrisFarrugia]

Hi all, I am working on a website in which I have all the user controls placed in a folder called UserControls. Unfortunately these controls cannot reference the master page while other controls that are not in this folder can. Has anyone experienced this? Thanks a lot, Chris Farrugia

maybe a difference in NameSpace ?

I am not assigning any custom namespaces. Thanks, Chris

do your usercontrols derive from System.Web.UI.Page? Do you send your Page object to the usercontrol? You should be able to retrieve the masterpage in that case.

Did you tried drag-dropping the UserControl into your MasterPage? Is the UserControl is created as new inside the Project itself or added from some other projects?

place the controls in the content panel,which in the master page.
