Check this

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   Label lbl = (Label)Master.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolder1").FindControl("Label1");
   string test = lbl.Text;
}

XML

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">
    <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="yyyyyyyy"></asp:Label>

This is the sample code in site.master:

ASP.NET

<div class="loginDisplay">
    <asp:LoginView ID="LoginView1" runat="server" EnableViewState="false">
        <AnonymousTemplate>
            [ <a href="~/Account/Login.aspx" id="HeadLoginStatus"
               runat="server">Log In</a> ]
        </AnonymousTemplate>
        <LoggedInTemplate>
            Welcome <span class="bold">
                <asp:LoginName ID="HeadLoginName" runat="server" />
            </span>!
            [ <asp:LoginStatus ID="HeadLoginStatus" runat="server"
                 LogoutAction="Redirect" LogoutText="Log Out"
                LogoutPageUrl="~/" /> ]

Solution 5

the problem you are mentioning can normally be handled through sessions
if some certain value is present in session show Logout else show Login.

you need not to interact with master child controls than.

and also the solution provided by Nikfazan is also good. you can try.
