Question

I have a property in masterpage which i populate in page render event as below:

public string myproperty{get; set;}
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnInit(e);
    myproperty = "TEST";          
}

on my aspx page I have a <%@ Reference VirtualPath="~/Site.Master" %> and on page init event I access it as so:

protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnInit(e);
    Site msPage = (Site)Page.Master;
    string t = msPage.myproperty ;
}
