Hi,

I have this weird problem. In one of the applications that I am developing the page load event is being fired twice. First when the page is loading and then at unloading. This is causing me a lot of trouble. The code for one of the pages is given below. Does anyone have any ideas about why this is happenning?

Thanks in advance.

Code
-----------------------------------------------------------------
public class Step1 : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label lbl1;
        protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox txt1;
        protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.CheckBox checkbox1;
        protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label lbl2;
        protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox txt2;
        protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button btn2;
        protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.CheckBox checkbox2;

        #region Web Form Designer generated code
        override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)
        {
            //
            // CODEGEN: This call is required by the ASP.NET Web Form Designer.
            //
            InitializeComponent();
            base.OnInit(e);
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
        /// the contents of this method with the code editor.
        /// </summary>
        private void InitializeComponent()
        {
            this.btn2.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.btn2_Click);
            this.Unload += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Unload);
            this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);

        }
        #endregion

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)...
private void Page_Unload(object sender, System.EventArgs e)...
private void btn2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)...

----------------------------------------------------------------

I am trying to debug the code and I just found out that the OnInit(e) method mentioned in the above code is being called twice (on page load and on page unload). Does anyone know how the oninit() method gets fired?

Thanks,

onInit is fired by ASP.NET runtime. But that shouldn't result in page_load being called once at each end of the page. That is very strange.

Is this happenning due to postback since I am redirecting to a diffent page using the button click event?

Also here is something else that I noticed and I don't quite understand why this is happennig. I have a method Page_Unload() that is being executed when Unloading the page. In Visual Studio while debugging if I click on the code inside this method and click on "Run to Cursor" the program execution stops even before the page is unloaded. I have absolutely no idea why this is happenning.

CORRECTION IN THE ABOVE POST:

sorry about that..

Surely, if you redirect to another page, that page's OnInit will run.

I have seen some oddities with Visual Studio while debugging.
