Get the calling page in Master Page

16Sep11

this.MainContent.Page.GetType().FullName

where MainContent is the main asp:ContentPlaceHolder. This technique is sort of looked down upon, but here it is.

Alternative method
Call the master page from the child page.
//Page_Load
MyMaster m = (MyMaster)this.Master;
m.TellMasterWhoIAm(this);
