ViewState not available on Page_Init?

[Craig Buchanan]

If I set a ViewState variable in the page_load event, then try to access
that same ViewState variable in the Page_Init event *after* a postback, the
variable's value is different. I only set it in this one place.

What is happening?

Thanks,

Craig Buchanan

The LoadViewState Event occurs just after the Init Event. You want to access
it in some later Event. Shouldn't be hard, as the Init and LoadViewState are
the first 2.

Page_Init happens before the state is recovered..

Kevin-

Thanks for the response. Why don't I see the LoadViewState event in the
page event list?

Hi Craig,

It is a common Event of all System.Web.UI.Control classes. The following
