If you mean turn it off programmatically then you may be able to set the
page's Master property to null in the PreInit event.
The trouble is that if you did this then all the content would be hidden so
I don't think it seems practical.
Perhaps just have a simple master with just bare content place holders and
swap this in when needed.
 
<%@ Page Language="C#" Title="Content Page" MasterPageFile="~/nonMember.master"%>
<%@ MasterType TypeName="BaseMaster" %>
<script runat="server">
protected void Page_PreInit(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.MasterPageFile = "nonMember.master";
if(Request.QueryString["member"] == "true")
{
this.MasterPageFile = "Member.master";
}
this.Title = Master.MyTitle;
}
</script>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">
Content for Content page.
</asp:Content>
