No event trigger after casting session variable in OnPreInit

[Geossl]

Dear All,
I try to change a master page in the OnPreInit in a asp.net page.
protected override void OnPreInit(EventArgs e){
if ((bool)session["IsNew"]){
this.MasterPageFile = "~/NewMaster.master";
}
else{
this.MasterPageFile = "~/OrigianlMaster.master";
}
base.OnPreInit(e)
}

But after this, the page does not trigger any other event. I try to trace to
the problem , and when I remove the casting of the session variable,
if ((bool)session["IsNew"]){
to
if (session["IsNew"] == null)

then, everything works fine again.

Why casting a session variable will inhibit the triggering of other events
in the page??

There was no way for you to know it (except maybe by browsing through some
of the previous questions in this newsgroup before posting yours - always a
recommended practice) , but this is a classic (COM-based) asp newsgroup.
ASP.Net bears very little resemblance to classic ASP so, while you may be
lucky enough to find a dotnet-knowledgeable person here who can answer your
question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your question to a
group where those dotnet-knowledgeable people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet or the forums at www.asp.net.
