User Controls Event Lifecycle

[Jonny]

I have a user control made up of a couple of web controls.

I want to be able to set the SkinId on the web controls at run time. To
do this I need to set the skin Id in or before the PreInit event.
However, I can see no way of hooking in to any events within a user
control prior to the OnInit event - which is too late for setting a
SkinID.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jonny

Only the Page has a PreInit event. You could set the SkinID from the
page object's PreInit, but I'm not sure what you are trying to
ultimately achieve.
