Hi All,

I have two master pages SiteMaster.Master and HomeMaster.Master and content Pages MyAccount.aspx with HomeMaster.Master and MyDashboard.aspx with SiteMaster.Master with PageBase class. In this SiteMaster.Master is Main master page and HomeMaster.Master is nested Master page which is having SiteMaster.Master page as Master Page.

Now, In SiteMaster.Master page is having a label called lblMasterDate which shows current date. for this, label I want to assign values dynamically from pagebase.
In PageBase to find lblMasterDate I used:

Label MasterPageDate = this.Master.Master.FindControl("lblMasterPageDate") as Label;
MasterPageDate.Text = DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek.ToString() + " | " + DateTime.Now.ToString(aDateFormat) + " | " + DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString();

This statement throws exception when I access MyDashboard.aspx .
Can anyone please help me to solve this problem.

Thanks In Advance.

Write this way

(this.Page.Master.Master.FindControl("lblMasterPageDate") as Label).Text = DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek.ToString() + " | " + DateTime.Now.ToString(aDateFormat) + " | " + DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString();

Hi,

Try this:

C#

Label MasterPageDate = Parent.Parent.FindControl("lblMasterPageDate") as Label;
MasterPageDate.Text = DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek.ToString() + " | " + DateTime.Now.ToString(aDateFormat) + " | " + DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString();
