Is it possible to capture a button click during the Page_Init?

I have a page that has a dropdown list on it. Usually it has 2 to 3 dates. When I change the date, it autopostbacks and when it hits Page_Init, it loads a list of entries into a table, each row having a checkbox.

When I want to Submit the checkboxes, the page is running Page_Init first, obviously. I don't need to do that. I can't use a Page.IsPostBack restriction because I don't want to run anything in the Page_Init when the button is clicked, it will run after the Process is ran, and redirects back to the page.

Is there any way possible to not have the Page_Init load first, but have the button process run, then redirect back to the page, and bam, I have my page back?

No. The page life cycle will always exectue in a Top Down order and you can't specific that you want x method to fire before the Page_Init.

I just need to skip the functions within the Page_Init when submitting something. I know there is a way that you can find out what control is posting back. If it is the button, I skip the functions, and move to processing the information, then when the page redirects, it will load the data back up.

This is a helper function that I use when I need to preform something like this, though I have only used it with buttons and DDL's you may have to tweak it for use with anything else.

private bool didControlPost(string sID)
{
 return (!(Request.Form[sID] == null)) || (!(Request.Form["__EVENTTARGET"] == null) && Request.Form["__EVENTTARGET"].Equals(sID)) || ((!(Request.Form[sID + ".x"] == null)) && (!(Request.Form[sID + ".y"] == null)));
}
