Setting a master page's master page programmatically

Is there anyway to set a Master Page's Master Page programmaticly? Would I need to do this on each page? I don't have access to the pre_init event from Master. Hrm...

From stackoverflow

• void Page_PreInit(Object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
      this.MasterPageFile = "~/NewMaster.master";
  }
  

  Working with ASP.NET Master Pages Programmatically

• In the PreInit function place:

  this.MasterPageFile = "~/masterPage.master";
  

  Yes, you will need to put this on each page. To get aroud it, have all the pages inherit from a base Page and place put the master page reference there.

  Shawn Simon : this is the route im going with, so it will look like me.master.masterpagefile
