ASP.NET FindControl on MasterPage
Hello All,
So I'm building a web page in ASP.NET/C# and have created a baseClass which implements login validation. When my web page code behind is run its class inherits as follows:
public partial class ArchiveDash : LoginBaseClass
{
ArchiveDash is using a single master page with a control on it. How do I access my master page control from my "LoginBaseClass"? I tried to reach my controls like this but only received nulls: (attached below)

//Intercept master page controls
System.Web.UI.WebControls.HyperLink linkLocalLogIn = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.HyperLink)this.Page.FindControl("linkLogIn");
System.Web.UI.WebControls.HyperLink linkLocalLogOut = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.HyperLink)this.Page.FindControl("linkLogOut");
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label lblLocalWelcomeUser = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label)this.Page.FindControl("lblWelcomeBackUser");
//Toggle welcome banner
if ((linkLocalLogIn != null) && (linkLocalLogOut != null))
