Question

All of the web forms / pages that my project extend on a derived class for the default page class.

I.e. instead of

public partial class myfirstpage:System.web.ui.page
{}

i have public partial class myfirstpage:myderivedclass
{}

However in the codebehind of the masterpage, if i do ‘this.page‘ it assumes im still using system.web.ui.page.

Anyone know how i can change this my new derived class instead?

Answer 1

In the master, create a new property:

public new MyDerivedPage Page { get { return (MyDerivedPage) base.Page; } }
