It is required to select Items in the master section of a master programmatically:

The code below provides the solution for this problem.

First, we need to get the list of appropriate master IDs:

foreach (MasterItem master in db.Items["/sitecore/masters/document"].Masters)

{

Response.Write("<br/>");

Response.Write(master.Name);

}

The code below selects the masters:

Database db = Sitecore.Configuration.Factory.GetDatabase("master");

MasterItem item = (MasterItem)db.Items["/sitecore/masters/document"];

using(new SecurityDisabler())

{

item.InnerItem.BeginEdit();

item.InnerItem.Fields["__masters"].Value = "{B203C16D-DC37-4EE0-980B-9A1AF68B52AE}|{30235F43-6242-4107-87AB-5267E34EDF0C}";

item.InnerItem.EndEdit();

}

Note: the value “{B203C16D-DC37-4EE0-980B-9A1AF68B52AE}|{30235F43-6242-4107-87AB-5267E34EDF0C}” represents a pipe-separated list of IDs of the masters which should be selected.
