Its very simple if you do this...

// content page
<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/Masters/YourMaster.master" %>

// partial class of content page
Page.Title = "Whatever";

how do i access a public variable in master from child pages? for example
in master.cs i have
public string categoryname = "";

i want to set categoryname ="new items" in default.aspx.cs

Once we have strongly typed the MasterPage using MasterType we can access
its members directly.

Master.categoryname = "new items";

This gets a bit more complex and requires a cast when attempting to
reference controls in the MasterPage or in the ContentPlaceHolder.

Label lbl = (Label)Master.FindControl("LabelID");

It can also require compound statements when the control is a child of
another control such as when trying to reference a TableRow that is set to
runat="server" as I've used the following example to show how such
referencing can be used to reference the row to toggle its display on and
off from the server simulating an expand/collapse event.

// Page.Controls[0].FindControl(ContentPlaceHolderID).FindControl(Control)
TableRow ctl =
(TableRow)Page.Controls[0].FindControl("CenterPanelContent").FindControl("Table1").FindControl("R2");
