Hi Peter,
Are you trying to access the properties of that control from the master page or 
the inherited page from the master?

I am using a web form using a master page. I have a couple of tables containing 
controls.However in the designer I cannot get to the individual controls only 
container controls.I have to go to the html source and click on a control in 
the html source to get to its properties. How do I assign an event handler to 
something as simple as a button (I know the most obvious answer is move up to 
asp.net mvc4 but please bear with me here, I need to walk before I run) With 
the really old asp.net everything was so simple (and limited). If I have        
          <asp:TableCell runat="server" Width="10%">                    
<asp:Button ID="btnDemographicSearch" runat="server" Text="Search" />           
     </asp:TableCell> I seem to have to wire up everything manually. I do get 
an OnClientClick property but its just empty. No drop down list to select an 
existing event handler. Double clicking does not generate an event handler 
stub.Seems to have gone backwards (at least to my simple way of thinking)
