Reference control from within master page?

[bobetko]

Is this possible?

Let's say I have two files:

"mymaster.master" with button control

and

"default.aspx" with textbox control.

When I click on the button (on master) I want to populate textbox (on default.aspx).

Thanks.

I will answer my own question:

First, public property has to be created on the master page. This property will have access to all controls and public variables on the master page. In the Master's page Code File enter something like:

public String SetMyProp
{
    set { lblMyLabel.Text = value; } 
}

Then in content page enter:

((MasterPage)Master).SetMyProp = "Sample Text";

This will set label's text property on the master page to contain text "Sample Text".

Here is nice article about master pages with samples:
