Here the author is obtaining a reference to the master page; which
requires a cast.

>    myMaster.mainTitle = "Playing with master pages :)";

Here the author is assigning a value to a property of the master page
referenced in the line above.

Check that your master page contains the following directive:

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" 
       CodeFile="MasterPage1.master.cs" Inherits="MasterPage1" %>

Check that the file MasterPage1.master.cs does actually contain the
definition of a type named MasterPage1.

Check that your page directive contains the following:

MasterPageFile="~/MasterPages/MasterPage1.master"

If all of this is correct, then the following will work for you:

MasterPage1myMaster = (MasterPage1)this.Master;
MasterPage1.mainTitle = "Playing with master pages :)";

Don't forget that C# is case sensitive, so check all of your casing
thoroughly.

If the instructions above do not solve your problem, can you post the
error that you are receiving please?
