Issues with handing server events...

AC
I have a page where I'm displaying articles based on the current year selected. My page dynamically builds a few links at the top to select a different year than the current one selected (the current year is not shown as an option). Then, based on the year selected, I am performing some specific logic to display the articles. By default, the first time the page loads, I default to the current year.

Within my Page_Load, I have the following:
If Not IsPostBack Then
_currentYear = Year(DateTime.N ow)

' display the current year selected (Literal control)
CurrentArchiveY ear.Text = _currentYear.To String()

' build the year selection menu
BuildArchiveMen u()

' build news items
BuildArchiveNew sList()
End If

When it loads the very first time, everything works just fine (the display that is). But when someone clicks on one of the year selectors in the menu (LinkButton controls with a bound event), the event isn't fired. I moved some things around (took everything out of the IF stmt above except the _currentYear line ant put it after the IF) to make sure it was firing and it was, but it seems the Page_Load is firing BEFORE my event handler as my page was loading without error, but the articles weren't being written (because it wasn't getting the current year from the event handler).

I must be doing something wrong with my order of events... ideas?

page load fires before any events, read the documentation on the page lifecycle.

Thanks... was having trouble locating the order of events on rendering an ASP.NET page... lifecycle was the search keyword I needed.

I would like to say a few (actually more than a few) words here about some recent discoveries I have made concerning the interaction of Leo and Python. If you don't want to hear an inventor enthuse about his work, please feel free not to read further :-) There are at least three, no four, no five, no six, no seven reasons why Leo and Python work so well together. Most are new (in my mind) with the 4.1 release of Leo. The first several...

I have a page that is linked into by other pages that pass it query strings, it then reads a config file, displays 1 of several forms, gets posted to itself, depending upon users response may display a different form etc etc. I want to take the config data and have that read by a globals.asa and then use application("VariableName") to reference it. i also want to take the initial query strings and load them into session variables.

I have created a form designer type application (with a lot of you peoples helpJ). It has label controls that are draggable at runtime. The user is also allowed to change some properties such as forecolor, backcolor and font. The labels also are rotatable and the text can also be flipped 180 degrees (the flipped text part is still being worked on). I have one context menu for all 30 labels that allows for the property changes to the labels....

Hello! I am instantiating webbrowser control objects and runtime and have successfully been able to have the event handled by a shared delegate.

I have a class that instantiates two Timer objects that fire at different intervals. My class can be instantiated within a Windows Form or from a Windows Service. Actions performed by one of the event handlers may take longer than the interval for either of the timers, so it's possible for multiple events to fire "simultaneously" and for events to queue up. I'm attempting to get the timers to sync on some reference type object, or use...

I have a rather complex commercial Acc2003 application (tab controls, 50K+ lines of VBA code, etc.) that will not run well at all on Windows Vista Ultimate. I have seen posts indicating that Acc2003 MDBs should work on Vista. However, our particular file has too many problems to be viable on a Vista platform. Even converting it to an Acc2007 accdb file has no positive effect. I realize that Vista is new and should be avoided like the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
