Events and Delegates with ASP.NET master pages

Question

How do you catch a custom event raised by a master page?

On my master page I have a custom event and delegate:

public event SignOutHandler SignOut;
public delegate void SignOutHandler();

This is raised when a link button on the master page is clicked.

if (SignOut != null)
{
    SignOut();
}

In a user control on the page I'd like to subscribe to that event, but I don't know how I'm supposed to access it. Normally I'd do something like:

MyInstantiatedMasterPage.SignOut += new MyMasterPage.SignOutHandler(MyEvent);

but dealing with a master page means that this isn't possible.

It's instantiated as a global object, which is what you'll need to use:

((MyMasterPage)Master).SignOut += new MyMasterPage.SignOutHandler(MyEvent);
