When this happened to me, I had already done the things @Er-Gayatri had suggested above, and the page had been working, literally for years, as it was.

I just had to "Rebuild All" and restart Visual Studio and it started doing it right again. Not sure the rebuild was even necessary.

[speculation]
I'm guessing that the currently running instance of VS had a reference in its debug whatever to a generated asp.NET dll that it forgot to update after the dll had been regenerated at some point, and needed to reboot to sort it out.

hi,

You can create a property or method in master page that will take a string parameter and set it as a text to the error label control.

and then you can call that method from inside the content page code.

e.g.

Define a method in Master page like :

C#

public void SetError (string ErrorMsg)
{
     lblError.Text = ErrorMsg;
}

and in content page set the message by calling this method as :

this.Master.SetError("Error Message Here");

To be able to access master page's methods or properties you have to define the master type in the page's aspx code as follows:

<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/MasterPage.master" %>
