Page_Load not firing in web user control ascx.vb

[C K]

I am having trouble getting the page_load event to fire from within my
usercontrol - my code is below, I'm sure I'm missing something simple.

Just your basic web user control - I've just began using them.
My aspx page is simple:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="TestPoll" TagName="Message" Src="poll.ascx" %>
....
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<TestPoll:Message runat="server" ID="Message1"/>
</form>
....
My user control is also plain jane- I have a label on it called label1 -
here is my code in the *.ascx.vb file. I can get a button_click event to
fire from code contained in the *.ascx.vb

Sub Page_Load(ByVal Src As Object, ByVal E As EventArgs)
Label1.Text = "run" 'c.LastName
End Sub

What am I missing?

You may want to expand the Web Form Designer generated code region and make
sure that there is an event handler set up for the page load event. I'm not
a VB guy, but in C# you need to have:

this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);

You'll want to have something similar.

Thanks guys.

I added "Handles MyBase.Load" to the end of the page_load declaration and it
works.

New Code:
Sub Page_Load(ByVal Src As Object, ByVal E As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Old Code:

Sub Page_Load(ByVal Src As Object, ByVal E As EventArgs)

Also, an alternative would be to change the autoeventwireup = true (VS
defaults it to false)
