Gridview dynamic controls on Masterpage

[Gruuka]

Hey everyone, i created a masterpage and linked a page that has a gridview linked to a contentplace holder on that master page, now this is working.

But there is a problem with controls when i cast a object as control that excists in the gridview to a textbox by using FindControl on Me.Master.Page (also tried Me.Master and EditSpec.findcontrol (edit spec is the gridview)) i will get an error concerning a nullreference exception because that control was not found on the masterpage.

I have the same code working but it isn't in the masterpage.

Try exposing the relevant control via a Public Property in the Master Page. Any child pages can then just call that property.

Sorry but I don't understand that part, the controls I have on the gridview are all dynamicly created on page_init so setting those as public prop on the masterpage would be somewhat impossible? (unless I am mistaken ofcourse).

A public property can expose anything from the page. If you can find them actually in the Master Page code, then you can return them to any calling Page.
