ASPNET 2.0 Page_Load question

Hi,

In my ASPNet 2.0 C# web application Form1.aspx, there are 1 TextBox control
txtBox1, 1 Button control Btn1, and 1 GridView control GV1.
I found whenever I click the Button control Btn1, then the Page_Load event
will be called first.
This also applys to the situation when I check a CheckBox in the GV1.
I am wondering why in the aspx web form, whenever we click any controls,
they all call the Page_Load event?
Thanks for help.

The page load will allways fire before any of the the events caused by
button pushes etc. It is a programatic requirement to be able to do things
at this time before other events load.

Hi, Jason.

re:

That's because you're POSTing the page when you click the button.

Please review the ASP.NET Page Lifecycle ...

Do you have autopostback set to "true" ?

The default behavior of a button control is to generate a postback. Other
controls can be set to generate a postback with their events (such as
TextChanged for textbox). A postback is nothing more than a form posting to
itself.

Page_Load always runs when a page is loaded, whether it is a postback or
not. Then, for any other events such as a button click, their event handler
code is run.

In addition to the other responses, you can use the IsPostBack property of
the Page object to determine whether your code within the Page_xxx events
runs or not...

if (!IsPostBack)
{
   // run when the page first loads
}
else
{
   // run when the page posts back to itself
}

Once more you have taught me something Mark.  I just encountered this as
well and had to devise code to make things work as I wanted.  I had a page
that could be invoked from another page and pass nothing, or from a url
click that involved passing four variables.  This drove me crazy until I
figured out that the page load occurred first.  Having IsPostBack would have
solved my problem in a hardened manner, rather than the kluge I put
together.  Thanks.
