title: Accessing MasterPage object from an .aspx code-behind
body: <p>I know we've done this before in another .aspx page that's using this master page.  So I tried this in a new .aspx but for some reason, it is not recognizing the Master object. And the .aspx definitely is set to the master page in the page directive correctly and there's no errors to that effect:</p>
