user control events firing before page events

[sds814]

On the aspx page_load event, I set properties that are defined on a user control. The user control has a page_initialization event and a modal popup load event. Before the page load event of the aspx page fires the page_initialization and modal popup load event fire causing errors as those properties haven't been set.

What changes do I have to make so the page load event of the aspx finishes and then the user control events fire?

Thanks.

You can't change the order that event's fire.

I was able to get the code working by setting the properties for the usercontrol on the page_init of the aspx page. So I believe the order is: page_init (aspx page), user control events, page_load (aspx page).

i came up with unexpected results...
i put into my session the start of each event

PI_controls_files:468
PI_entryppl_cb:468
PL_entryppl_cb:468
PL_controls_files:484


-PI is the Page Init event and PL is the Page Load event
-controls_files is the codebehind of my usercontrol
-entryppl_cb is the codebehind of my entry form
-the number is the millisecond. kinda pointless but verifies the ordering.

you need to understand the asp.net life cycle.
