  Try below:

  protected override void OnPreInit(EventArgs e)
  {
  base.OnPreInit(e);
  SPWeb TestWeb = SPControl.GetContextSite(Context).OpenWeb();
  string strUrl = TestWeb.ServerRelativeUrl + “/_catalogs/masterpage/Test.master”;
  this.MasterPageFile = strUrl;
  }

  Hi,

  If the Masterpage is in the subsite, how to fetch it.

  I tried like this:

  protected override void OnPreInit(EventArgs e)
  {
  base.OnPreInit(e);
  SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
  {
   using (SPSite oSite = new SPSite(subsiteurl))
  {
  using (SPWeb oWeb = oSite.OpenWeb())
   {
  oWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
  string strUrl = "~/_catalogs/masterpage/Test.master";
  this.MasterPageFile = strUrl;
  oWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
  }
  }
  });
  }

  I am getting error as "System.Web.HttpException: 'subsiteurl/_catalogs/masterpage/test.master' is not a valid virtual path.  
   at System.Web.Util.UrlPath.CheckValidVirtualPath(String path)   
   at System.Web.Util.UrlPath.Combine(String appPath, String basepath, String relative)   

  Thanks

  Hello!

  An alternative is to set the default master page decoratively through the ONET.xml. Something like

  
  

  <Configurations>
      ...
      <Configuration ID="0" Name="Default" MasterUrl="_catalogs/masterpage/MyV4.master">
      ...
  </Configurations>

  It's mentioned in the following article - SharePoint: How to create a custom master page.
