User Control PageLoad even not firing

[Phil Johnson]

Hello,

I have a page that contains a user control that is nested within other user
controls... the nesting is quite deep, not sure exactly how ddep but there is
a control inside a control inside a ... etc.

One of the user controls has a button click that tries to get a reference to
the problematic user control nested inside of it but it throws an exception
saying the user control does not exist, but this problem only happens on a
postback, on first load everything is fine.

When I put a breakpoint in the pageload event handlers of all the user
controls and the page, on first load they all fire, but on a postback the
pageload of the problematic user control does not fire.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Michael,

Unfortunately not... Like I say there are a lot of nested controls and a lot
of code... it is going to be difficult to reproduce a small app with the same
behaviour.

I was hoping somebody else might have experienced the same behaviour and
resolved it.
