variable

I am trying to reference a variable within my MasterPage but I am receiving errors.

I have tried

<%@ MasterType" %>:

 which gives the following error:
 `Compiler Error Message: CS0030: Cannot convert type 'IPAMIntranet.IPAMIntranetMaster' to 'ASP.ipamintranetmaster_master'

and "string tVar = ((MyNamespace.MyMasterPage)Master).variable"

 which gives the following error:
 `Unable to cast object of type 'ASP.ipamintranetmaster_master' to type 'IPAMIntranet.IPAMIntranetMaster'.`

Does anyone know what is happening or am I missing something.
