SQLDataSource binding timing

[Mark B]

I am using SQLDataSource to populate a Dropdownlist box. But while debugging
the Dropdownlist item count is always 0. I have also checked in the
Prerender event and the Dropdownlist item count is still 0 but when the page
is loaded the items are bound and populated. When are the items exactly
bound to the dropdown?

Controls with declarative databinding get bound in their PreRender event. If
you want to catch the moment right after databinding, use the DataBound
event and than you don't need to care about when exactly it happens.
