In asp.net how to referece page controls in custom base page class
<p>I have a large number of .aspx pages (asp.net 4, c#) that all inherit from a custom base page class (that, of course, ultimately inherits from the standard System.Web.UI.Page class).</p>

<p>By convention, all these pages have the same set of controls on them (for example, a couple of textboxes with the same ID).</p>

<p>I'd like to put some generic code in the custom base page class that retrieves the .Text values from these controls on the page.  </p>

<p>NOTE, this is not a MasterPage set up.  I have a custom base page class; then a series of pages that inherit from that base page class.  </p>

<p>So... I'm stuck.  How do I reference the textboxes on the page from the base class?</p>
