I have a master page file that contains a 2 menu's in a 2 panel controls.
I also use a control to check if user is logged in and get the type of user.
Deppending on the type I want to show / hide the panel. The control itself is not referenced in the master page but dynamically through the CMS System.
I want to use findcontrol in the user control to find the panel control in the master page. I have tried different methods but all come back with null.
The content placeholder in the master page is
asp:Content runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="PHMainBlock"
and the control is called
asp:Panel ID="NormalUser" runat="server"
I have tried using the code….
Panel ph = (Panel)Page.Master.FindControl("NormalUser");
ph.Visible = false;
but brings back null, any help?
thanks..
