Constructor not executing

[flanakin]

In my web form, my page's constructor is not being executed. Does anyone have any idea why this would be happening? Any help is appreciated.

May we see

(a)your page_load function (which I assume is what you refer to)

-and-

(b)your page_init and InitializeComponent methods?

By implication, since those are both protected/private methods, they cannot be executed until the constructor is run, so they would do no good. If you insist, I can show them, but it would not help any.

Are you saying that you created a method with a return value the name of your page? Like....

public class MyPage : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    public MyPage(){
    
    //do something constructive here...
    
    }
   
}

Never tried that... Does it work? I usually use the Page_Load event to do initialization and other "construtor-like" operations.

What I HAVE done is create a base class that inherits from System.Web.UI.Page and have my pages inherit from it. The constructors in the base class will execute. Good for instantiating objects you want common to all pages.

That's what I'm doing...

public class Login : TemplatePage
{
public Login() : base("Login&quot
{}

...
}

And, for some reason, the constructor was not running. It's working, now, but I didn't change anything, so I'm even more clueless now than before.

Theoretically you shouldn't have to call base() - it should execute by default. Part of the reason you might want it in a base class is that you don't have to ever think about it again - it'll "just happen" without having to be prodded.

BUT you are not using a parameter-less constructor? Hm... That could complicate things.
