question about master pages

[csphard]

I created a masterpage and created several pages using it.

Now here is the question. The master page has a form on it and I can not remove this.

When I am working with the pages that I created using this how do I access the form on that page so I can make changes to it because I do not see the form tag.

ie tell it I want to use post or get and what action.

I thought I could delete it from the masterpage and add it on the pages where I need it. When I do this
those pages error saying I need it for the ContentPlaceHolderID.

Also viewed the source and see the form tag, I just do not know how to access it in vwd on the page created using the master page

1. create public members on the master form like

public void setlabeltextto(string text)
{
    mylabel.text = text;
}

2.on the webform you can then access this using

master.setlabeltextto("hello world);

then webform should contain something like

<%@Master Type = '~/mymasterpage.master" %>

at the top of the markup.

you may need to cast the master page in the webform to access the public member

((MyMasterPage)Master).setlabeltextto("hello world);
