[Solved] User Control access controls in the hosting Page with master page

[Jerry]

Hi All,

I am working on a case which is copying the example 

Grid / Editing with external form

In which the grid is in a user control (ascx) and the external form is in the hosting page(aspx). However my .aspx  is using masterpage.

 I got reference error when try to access controls in the hosting page from the .ascx like:

 this.Page.FindControl("pnlExternalForm").Visible = true;//code in .ascx

pnlExternalForm is in the hosting .aspx page

The codes works fine if I put them into a case without masterpage.

I think the code is right, but just not work

Any idea?

TIA

Jerry
