Squeezing in between LoadViewState and LoadPostData

[kaniga]

Hi,

I am trying to build an application framework for loading data into my
page controls (data-binding).

I though that I could load the data at Page_Init (calling to the
applications Business Logic),
and this would allow me to get the user's selections on postbacks,
i.e.
if I fill a drop-down-list on page init, I would get the user's
selection just before the Page_Load.


The problem is that I want to have the viewstate for my controls ready
for me, so I know which data I should load when I call the Business
Logic.

For example,
if I have a grid with a sorted column set, I want to get that sorted
column on every postback, so I can get the data with the proper ORDER
BY.

So I figured I should squeeze in between LoadViewState and
LoadPostData (which loads user's selections).
The problem is that there is no such event:
I cannot override LoadViewState for the page because it occurs just
before LoadViewState for all of the child controls.

Is there any solution for this ?

use the LoadViewState override. just call the base method (which will load
viewstate) before calling your framework code.

The problem is that the LoadViewState method for the page is called
BEFORE the LoadViewState for any of its child controls.

I need to be able to respond AFTER all LoadViewState methods are
called and before LoadPostData.
