ASPX Accessing master page function
<p>I am trying to access a function placed in master page code-behind from another ASPX page as follows.</p>

<p>Main.master.cs:</p>

<pre><code>public partial class Main : System.Web.UI.MasterPage
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      ...
    }

    public static bool test()
    {
        return true;
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>Product.aspx:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Main.master" EnableEventValidation="false"
AutoEventWireup="true" ValidateRequest="false" CodeFile="Product.aspx.cs" Inherits="Common_Product" Title="Product" %&gt;
...
&lt;asp:Label id="test123" runat="server" /&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Product.aspx.cs:</p>

<pre><code>using SiteABC.Accelerate;
public partial class Common_Product : SiteABC.Accelerate.SerializePageViewState   
{
    private void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Main cm = (Main)Page.Master; 
        test123.Text = "yo | " + cm.test();
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>This results in a compiler error:</p>

<pre><code>Compiler Error Message: CS0176: Member 'Main.test()' cannot be accessed with an instance reference; qualify it with a type name instead
</code></pre>

<p>What is wrong in this scenario?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
