objects being rendered

[tfs]

I thought that objects are not rendered until the Page_PreRender
event?

I have a textbox object and when I do a trace.warn(object.text) in the
Page Init event - it has the correct text?

I would have thought I wouldn't get the correct data until
Page_PreRender.

How come?

Thanks,

Tom.

Hi Tom:

The objects may have all the correct properties during Init, but they
do not write out any HTML based on those properties until they render.

Rendering is the process of writing the HTML of a Control to the Response
Output Stream. It has nothing to do with the properties of the objects that
exist on the server. The objects are created initially, have their
properties set, process postback data, raise and handle events, etc., and
then are rendered back to the client.

I know that you used the Page_PreRender event to save Global variables
(viewstate).


Why else would I use this event?


Thanks,

Hi Tom,

Why else would I use this event?

You would use that Event Handler to do any processing which would best be
done at that point in the Page's Execution Lifecycle. That's about the best
I can say to such a broad question.
