Order of Code Generation Problem

forfree · June 27th, 2006, 02:15 PM

Ok, I'm having some issues with the order of code generation with ASP and C#.

basically I have some code set up as follows:

Code:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="myinc.aspx.cs" Inherits="myinc"%>

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>MY PAGE</TITLE>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="scripts/core1.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="scripts/core2.js"></script>
<script language="C#" runat="server">
    void Page_Load(object Source, EventArgs e)
    {
        CreateContent();
    }
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>

My problem is that upon viewing the generated page source, all the HTML generated by CreateContent() is listed before anything else on the page. I need it to be generated after all the Javascript definitions (IE in the place that I put it in the .aspx file). Anyone have a clue what's happening?

Your content is being wrote to the page before everything else because the Page_Load event is processed before you actual page is loaded by the client. What you could do is something like this:

[HTML code]
<% CreateContent() %>
[/HTML Code]

So basically place that call inline with your code and the HTML will be rendered in that spot, just make sure the method CreateContent is declared with, at least, a Protected identifier. (To be truthful i have had spoty luck using Protected and have ended up using Public alot when i needed to do this)

Alternatively you could set up a panel on your page and then on your backend use an HTMLWriter, Render it, and add it to the panel.
