ASP.net reproducible bug

[Ryan Folstad]

I've seen a few posts from people wondering why OnInit fires multiple times
for one web form. I finally figured it out for my situation.

I tested this on both .net 1.1 and 1.0 both were able to reproduce.
Create a new c# web app. in WebApp1.aspx add the following html:
<table><tr><t d background="#00 0000"></td></tr></table>

Place a Break in the Web designer generated OnInit.

Hit run..

OnInit will fire twice..

remove the background="#00 0000" and it will only fire once..

serious bug.. as the second time it fires the context is lost and the
request seems to be lost aswell..

Brilliant!

How would i go about reporting this to ms or getting a fix without using up
one of my msdn incidents?

You're using the background attribute wrong.
The baground attribute is to specify a background image.
Use the BGColor attribute to specify the background color.
Here's more info:

But I agree with you that it still shouldn't cause the page to load twice,
so there is a bug for you to fix and a bug for Microsoft to fix.

You might try sending an email to ms****@microsof t.com using Visual Studio
..NET in the title.

Agreed its not how your supposed to use background but it does work.. the
cel color changes in IE atleast.

It was a real pain finding which line was causing it to load twice.. I
basically had to remove each row in a huge table 1 by 1 to see which was
causing the problem.

Do you have a better method? Is there anyway to decipher the EventArgs to
determine where/what caused a given load?

Also how do i post a bug report to microsoft? I don't see anywhere on MSDN to do that.

Microsoft will get this Bug Report very soon.

I am sure someone in this group will bubble this bug up the ladder.

I was only able to reproduce using:
Response.Redire ct or link (<a href>)

If you use Server.Transfer to load the page its not reproducible. This is
what was really giving me a hard time tracking it down!

Hope this helps,

Ryan,

I was only able to reproduce this bug only on postback in Both C# and VB.NET
and not on the initial load of the page. Do you see the same thing?

At least not a handicap.
That is Brilliant Ryan. Thank you for sharing this with us

To clarify.

It is only reproducible on initial load, if the page is loaded from a url or response.redire ct. Server.Transfer is ok.

However regardless how it was loaded initially any subsequent PostBack will call OnInit twice.

I also noticed that the second OnInit has old Request information and
Context is gone.
