    Tricky Question: Page_Load

    I have a usercontrol that sets a public/shared variable called
    "database_name" . (User selects a dropdownlist of available databases.) A
    webform (webform1), that uses this usercontrol, connects to the database
    defined by that public variable and does stuff.

    Problem: Webform1 is always one database "behind". This is because the
    Page_Load runs on webform1, THEN Page_Load is run on the usercontrol (which
    sets the database_name variable).

    Any ideas how I can fix this/compensate?

    Please assist.

    Thanks,
    Robert

      You could take the code out of page_load and put it into page_prerender.
      Then it will run after all your controls preload

          You don't want to put any actually "processing " functionality into page
          load. You should be doing any processing in an event such as a click, that
          way all controls (both user and asp) have a chance to run their load event.
          The data for the controls in the page_load isn't guaranteed to be up to
          date.

          HTH,
