    Master.FindControl returns null on everything when wrapped with ContentPlaceHolderDefault

    API Questions

    First time umbraco dev here.

    i'm trying to set a class on my body element thats found on the first master page.

    How i have it set up right now is

    page.master -> landing.master -> content.master

    based on what the content type is, the body's class attribute has to be changed. 

    so i'v made a recursive method to find the correct master page for me(in this case, page.master) and change the class for the body element. everything works fine.

    and then i wrap it with

    asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolderDefault" runat="server"

    in the @master directive, i have MasterPageFile="~/umbraco/masterpages/default.master"

    then the FindControl method returns null on everything.

    i cannot for the life of me figure out whats wrong.

    another side effect of the wrap is that i lose all my intellisense for the asp and umbraco namespace.

    Not sure if this helps but most of the time i add a class to my body tag dependant on what the DocuemntType is (i normally add the actual DocumentType name to the body's class attribute) ... and i use a simple XSLT to provide the data

    <body class="<umbraco:Macro Alias='CssBodyClass' runat='server'></umbraco:Macro>">

    and then the XSLT is simply ... you can off course add extar logic here if need be

      <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:value-of select="name($currentPage)"/>
  </xsl:template>

    Thanks for that Asif.

    I think the bigger problem here is that the FindControl() method suddenly returns null on everything when i wrap the base master page with the

    "asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolderDefault" to allow canvas editing to work.

    To be honest havent really used Canvas editing, and i activly try to discourage usage of it ... If you really need to work this out, i would suggest getting the Umbraco source code and debugging through the entire thing
