Am I right in saying that if you have a custom-defined Page_Load() 

function in the SCRIPT section of an aspx file, it should get called when 

served up by the web server?



do you have to inherit an object or something to make Page_Load work?



I'm doing a simple static databinding in my Page_Load function (for test 

purposes) and when I run it even in visual studio .net in debug mode, it 

never gets to the function and thus on the web, the dropdown never gets 

filled.



thanks.

It depends on how you are accomplishing this task.  2 different ways right 

of the bat is you either wire up the event and supply your delegate that is 

to be called through multicasting or you override the Page Class's protected 

virtual OnLoad(EventArgs e){} method.  In these 2 most commonly used 

approachs your loading methed will be called...  Can you give a code sample 

on how your currently trying to achieve this which is giving you problems?

If you created the page in VS.NET it automatically adds the directive

AutoEventWireup="false".



This will keep asp.net from adding the "wireup" code to call the Page_load

(and other events) at runtime for the .aspx page.  VS.NET does this because

it thinks everything is in the code-behind.  Try setting the

AutoEventWireup="true" and then running your page.



HTHs,

Brian - Thanks! That did it and answered some other questions of mine as 

well!  I also found that if I constructed the Page_Load() function in 

my .aspx file differently, it would also work as below:



   Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, 

                         ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

         ...

   End Sub



INSTEAD OF (without setting AutoEventWireUp = true)



   Sub Page_Load(oSource As Object, oArgs as EventArgs)

         ...

   End Sub



Does that seem consistent with what AutoEventWireUp does?
