In your master page’s code behind replace the protected keyword on the event handler to public.
public void LinkButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Do Stuff Here
}
IN your content page use the Master Type Directive
<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/masters/SourcePage.master"" %>
In the code behind for the content page call the Master event handler as follows
protected void ImageButton1_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e) { this.Master.LinkButton1_Click(sender, e); }
Note the code is C#.
- The @ Master directive is another option. When the ASP.NET master page is accessible using the Master property, this method offers a mechanism to construct a strongly typed reference to the master page.
- There is no need to cast because the outcome is as strongly spelled as stated.
- Example:
<%@ MasterType Virtual Path="~/masters/SourcePage.master"" %>- Although you don’t need to know the type of the masterpage to use this directive, it really results in the same code as @Scott’s solution.
- Then, let’s say, you may begin using your masterpage by
Master.Title = "My Page Title";- This will also enable you to call upon events from the master. To locate the master control you need, use Master.FindControl.
- For instance, discover control
HtmlAnchor btnMyImageButton = (HtmlAnchor)Master.FindControl("btnMyImageButton");- However, I advise using the ImageButton’s OnClick property and setting it to a publicly visible void or Sub on the Master page. Then just call that void/Sub as follows:
Master.ImageButtonClick();
