Can not access control from nested master page in content page

Question

I am using nested master pages where i want to use Label control from nested master page and update its text. but it is not accessing. When i removed outer master page then it is working fine. Following is the markup and code.

OUTER MASTER

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Site.master.cs" Inherits="Roster.Site" %>

NESTED MASTER

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="RoasterMaster.master.cs" Inherits="Roster.RoasterMaster"  MasterPageFile="~/Site.Master" %>
<%@ MasterType VirtualPath ="~/Site.Master" %>

CONTENT PAGE

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" Inherits="RequestsView" CodeBehind="ViewRequestsByPM.aspx.cs" MasterPageFile ="~/Roaster/RoasterMaster.Master" Title ="Roaster- View Requests by PM" %>
<%@ MasterType VirtualPath ="~/Roaster/RoasterMaster.Master" %>

CONTENT PAGE CODE

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{


    Label lblTitle = new Label();

    lblTitle =(Label)Master.FindControl("lblTitle");
    lblTitle.Text = "View Roaster Request";
}

What is going wrong with the implementation. Please help. Thanks

You can add the below code snippet in

NESTED MASTER PAGE

public string PageTitle { get; set; } // In page_load
lblTitle.Text = PageTitle;

CONTENT PAGE CODE

this.Master.PageTitle = "YOUR TEXT";

This will work for you...
