how to add a event to a telerik control from a master page

If I add the event to the RadDatePicker control then obviously it works

<telerik:RadDatePicker runat="server" ID="MyRadDatePicker" ClientEvents-OnDateSelected="clientEvent" />

. .

But My question is how do I add the event "ClientEvents-OnDateSelected" from the code behind of my master page when the radDatePicker is in a custom control and that control is on the master page?

I tried this but it wont work?

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
UC1MyCustomControl.FindControl("MyRadDatePicker").ClientEvents-OnDateSelected="clientEvent";

}

+1 for Michaels answer. Best way is to for the custom control to expose the DatePicker as a property and the Master Pager can use that property to set the required events.

Cast the result of FindControl so you can access properties specific to RadDatePicker, and change the - in the attribute to .:

var datePicker = (RadDatePicker)UC1MyCustomControl.FindControl("MyRadDatePicker");
datePicker.ClientEvents.OnDateSelected = "clientEvent";

Instead of relying on FindControl, though, it might be better for the user control to expose the date picker as a public property:

// Inside the code-behind for the user control...
public RadDatePicker DatePicker
{
    get { return MyRadDatePicker; }
}

Using this property, the master page can access the date picker easily:

UC1MyCustomControl.DatePicker.ClientEvents.OnDateSelected = "clientEvent";
