public void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
lblMessage.Text = Message;
lblMessage1.Text = Message1;
if (Message != string.Empty && Message !=null)
SendErrorModelPopupExtender.Show();
}
public string Message { get; set; }
public string Message1 { get; set; }


code in Header.ascx (Here working Properly)

protected void btnCheckOut_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (ShoppingCart.Instance.Items.Count == 0)
{
CustomMessageControls uc1 = (CustomMessageControls)this.Parent.Parent.FindControl("MessageControl1");
