Solution 1

1. Check whether you have added the mastertype declaration in the page directive.
2. if you want to use set/get the textbox value then instead of doing a findcontrol define a public property in the masterpage for setting and getting it and then call this property from the page.

Part 2 is Solution but is not description for problem. Why FindControl not working?

My first guess would be that your control is not actually on the master page but on a nested page. If so, this won't find it. You would need to do something like:

C#

this.Form.FindControl("txtEmployee_code");

You can find more examples and more ideas here (make sure to look at the comments, since they have other options people have tried):
