I need help with OnPreRender

[2310b]

I have a web form in which i use OnPreRender to load controls. it works fine BUT no matter what other events I call, the OnPreRender keeps executing. If I click on one of the buttons to fire off the OnClick event, the OnPreRender runs!!! I don't get it. I've never seen this behaviour before. Does anyone have any ideas???


here's part of the class...



namespace mynamespace
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for MyClass.
/// </summary>
public class MyClass : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label lblQM;
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label lblUsers;
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList ddlUsers;
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label lblSelUser;

}

{

if (! Page.IsPostBack)
{

Try moving your !Page.IsPostBack conditional statement to your Page_Load Event. I would also recommend placing a breakpoint on each of these methods so that you can be sure how your page is behaving. When you click your button the OnPreRenderEvent should fire first, then the Page_Load, and finally the click event of your button.
