Question on compilation order

[michdoh]

Hi All

Hoping someone can give me some advice on the following.

We have the following scenario:
User have to go to an external site to logon to our system, once
authenticated they are redirected to our site with an authentication
token that we validate using a web service. OK

We are running VB.net on framework 1.1 sp1.

What I am hoping to do is to add code to add code to the header control
(ASCX component) to pick up this token and create a session object to
hold the users information and login status etc. Once this object has
been created the aspx page will pre-populate the page with the users
information.

I have a couple of concerns:
1: I want to use the ascx pre-render mode to create the session
object and the aspx pre-render mode to populate the form. As these are
both part of the same web page is there any way to ensure that the ascx
pre-render executes before the aspx pre-render?

2: I know that in Java a while statement is safer that an If
statement. I.E if a multithreaded application is swapped out as a
result of exceeding a time slice, once swapped back in it will (in the
case of a while statement) check that the condition is still valid,
whereas if an 'If' statement is used it won't. Is this the case with
dot.net code?
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated
