Call Method in Master Page
From within the Page
you can cast the Master
page to a specific type (the type of your own Master
that exposes the desired functionality), using as
to side step any exceptions on type mismatches:
var master = Master as MyMasterPage;
if (master != null)
{
master.Method();
}
In the above code, if Master
is not of type MyMasterPage
then master
will be null
and no method call will be attempted; otherwise it will be called as expected.
Use the MasterType
directive like e.g.:
<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/masters/SourcePage.master" %>
Then you can use the method like this:
Master.Method();
You can simply do like...
MasterPageClassName MasterPage = (MasterPageClassName)Page.Master;
MasterPage.MasterMethod();

MyMasterPageType master = (MyMasterPageType)this.Master;
master.MasterPageMethod();
