Postback

Chris,

chech out the lifecycle of the page. The button click event fires AFTER the
page.Load event which is why your have to click your button twice.
For a little background reading you might have a look at the following

Try moving your code after events are fired, i.e. PreRender event and see if
that works for you.

I have a button which sets a vaiable in session. I retrieve the session the
page load event. I seem to need to press the button twice for the variable
to change (I am tracing it to see what the variable is). I am I
misunderstanding something?

The variable only seems to change further down the order of events. Any
ideas . Cheers, Chris.

It's a little long winded to explain what I am doing. I want the button
click to do something to an XML file before the page reloads. I now
understand this is not how the postback process works. Is there any way of
triggering the postback twice. I know its a hack.....
