PreRender on my User control not firing

[tshad]

In VS 2008, I have 2 pages, one aspx page and one ascx page.

The PreRender event is not firing on the Contol page.

The aspx page starts out:

<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup ="true" Trace="true"
CodeFile="TakeS urveyTest.aspx. vb" Inherits="TakeS urveyTest" %>
And the ascx page starts out:

<%@ Control Language="VB" AutoEventWireup ="true"
CodeFile="TakeS urveyTest.ascx. vb" Inherits="TakeS urveyTest" %>

The PreRender code on my ascx page is:

Sub Page_PreRender( ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal E As EventArgs)
viewstate("Time Start") = TimeStart
viewstate("Scre enRight") = ScreenRight
viewstate("Scre enWrong") = ScreenWrong
viewstate("Last Time") = LastTime
End Sub
The control works fine other than that.

What is missing?

Thanks,

Tom

I figured it out.

The control wasn't visible - so it didn't fire.

But there lies the question.

If you set the control as visible=false and the PreRender event doesn't
fire - does the PageLoad event fire?

Also, I assume the IsPostBase is based on the page and not the control. But
if that is the case, how do you initialize the control.

I would normally do that in the "if not IsPostBack" code of my PageLoad
event. But will that happen when the control is not visible?
