Code execution inside a placeholder control

[Jimi2Cool]

i was under the impression that the controls inside a placeholder dont fire there events or execute any codebehind unless the placeholder was visible.

in my app it appears that all my controls are running weather they are in a visible placeholder or not, if they're in an invisible placeholder they just dont render their html.

Is there a way to make it to where a controls code wont execute in the placeholder if it's not visible (without putting if(Container.Visible) checks all over the place)?

just so i dont look even more novice

"(without putting if(Container.Visible) checks all over the place)"

I meant

"(without putting if(this.Parent.Visible) checks all over the place)"

sorry~

Yes, that's correct.

"(without putting if(this.Parent.Visible) checks all over the place)"

You have to either do this or create a function to remove all the relevant event handlers in the page load event.
