Question

I have an ASP.NET page that uses a MasterPage. I have a public bool attribute in the MasterPage called ShowChangePassword. I want to set this to true or false in the page that uses this MasterPage.

I have the following code, but I can’t set the attribute:

 var masterPage = this.Master;
 masterPage.ShowChangePassword = false;

What code do I need to do this?

Answer 1

You need a typed reference to your master page class. Put something like that in your content page:

<%@ Page  masterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master"%>
<%@ MasterType  virtualPath="~/MasterPage.master"%> 

Then you can do:

 this.Master.ShowChangePassword = false;
