Howdy folks,

I've been going through the book and following the examples, doing my best to convert the C# code in the VB that I'm familiar with. (I'm also working in the Wrox Beginner's ASP.NET 2.0 book.)

At any rate, I'm getting a little stuck on the section where we pass values from the Master Page to the the Child page. This is the code I have in the code file for the Master Page (using VWD Express 2008):
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Partial Class MasterPage
    Inherits System.Web.UI.MasterPage
    Public Class myValue
        Dim myValue("My Master Page String Value") As String
    End Class
    Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Label1.Text = TextBox1.Text
        TextBox1.Text = ""
    End Sub
End Class
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think that turns out okay, but I can't seem to figure out how to convert the C# code from page 239 into VB, specifically the method:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     MasterPage mp = (MasterPage)Page.Master
     mpLabel.Text = mp.myValue
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I can figure out that we're supposed to create a new instance of our Master Page as the object "mp", but honestly, I'm not sure how to do that in VB.

Any help that can be given would be great, even pointing me towards a reference that could explain it a little better.

Thanks in advance!

Okay, I know it's bad form to reply to my own topic, but I figured out this issue.

Instead of a class, myValue is a property of the class MasterPage (which I should have realized), and chapter 9 of Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 deals with shared methods and properties.

From there, it was just a matter of using the text as a guide.

I apologize if anyone's used any time trying to figure out what I've done wrong!

Thanks again,
