unable access MasterPage member

[DotNetGnat]

Guys,

I have this working in C# project but not in VB project...

in the MasterPage.master.vb file, I have

Public Overridable ReadOnly Property MainBody() As HtmlGenericControl
        Get
            Return Me.maintop
        End Get
    End Property

in the content page, I am trying to access using...

        Dim mybody As HtmlGenericControl
        mybody = Master.MainBody

but I am getting 'MainBody' is not a member of 'System.Web.UI.MasterPage'

Any suggestions...

You'll need to cast your Master object to it's correct type first.

I just used FindControl and it worked fine for me...
also page inheritance is little complicated in VB.net project that I am currently working with...so thats the reason I was getting member not found error...

Thanks
