Can I refer to the controls on default.aspx from the masterpage?
I have a form on the masterpage which sends information that is in a
gridview in the default.aspx page.

Hi,

If you want access control to content page (control, which exists on master
page), then you can access it through like this..

HtmlControl body = (HtmlControl)this.Page.Master.FindControl("Body");

I think he wants it the other way round. I.e., in his master page, he
would like to get a reference to a control in a child page of the
master page.

Hi Jape,

Given the below markup & code, this may be of help to you:

GridView g = (GridView) myPlaceHolder.FindControl("myDDL");

Site1.master.aspx:

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"
CodeBehind="Site1.master.cs" Inherits="Site1" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://
www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Label ID="myLabel" />
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="myPlaceHolder" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Default.aspx:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"
CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="LoginApp._Default"
MasterPageFile="~/Site1.Master"%>

<asp:Content ID="myContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="myPlaceHolder"
Runat="Server">
<asp:DropDownList ID="myDDL" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem Value="1" Text="Indeed" />
<asp:ListItem Value="2" Text="Yeah" />
<asp:ListItem Value="3" Text="Exactly" />
</asp:DropDownList>
</asp:Content>

Site1.master.cs:

using System;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.

public partial class Site1 : System.Web.UI.MasterPage
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
GridView g = (GridView) myPlaceHolder.FindControl("myDDL");
}
}
