masterpage

I use LinkButton linkBtn = (LinkButton)FindControl(ControlID); inside a method in my baseclass...

This works within a normal aspx page when given,

LinkButton linkBtn = (LinkButton)FindControl("lnkBtn1");

But when it is a contentpage included within a masterpage it doesn't work...

LinkButton linkBtn = (LinkButton)FindControl("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_lnkbtn");

i get the error Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
