session variables incrementing with a master page

[TheAmes]

Hi

VB.net 2.0 website developed with VWD 2005 Express
one masterpage
one content page aspx
and a global.asax
in the session start event of the global.asax file i declare a
session variable:
session("ItemCount") = 0
in the masterpage there is an asp:label
in the masterpage load event i put this:
label1.text = session("ItemCount").ToString()
on the content page (default.aspx) i have an imageButton. on the
onlclick event of the imagebutton i have this:
session("ItemCount") = session("ItemCount") + 1
HERES THE PROBLEM:
i press the image button, the page and masterpage reload, and the label

still says 0. BUT i press it again, everything reloads and it goes to
1. ress again and it goes to 2.
My question is, why doesnt it increment to 1 the FIRST time i press the

imagebutton?????
Thanks for your help

If you put breakpoints at those two places where you work with that
session variable, you see that the "load" event is executed first (so
it will display the "old" itemcount) and *then* the click event is
executed (so the itemcount is incremented).

Solution: move the "label1.Text = .." statement to the PreRender event.
