bmains,
I need the AddHandler Me.Load, AddressOf Page_Load.

When I delete Handles MyBase.Load sometimes VS.Net deletes AddHandler Me.Load, AddressOf Page_Load and adds Handles MyBase.Load.

When I save sometimes it won't reset itself but it usually does. Even when I save and close the solution, some pages with this will reset itself and some won't.

I think when it recompiles itself it resets itself.

Is there a way to shut this reset mode off????

I got this example from a Wrox book. Thank you.

Switch to C#. I don't believe you can.

thanks for your advice. I will switch to C# in 6months. I just started to learn VB.NET 6 months ago. Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, why do you need the AddHandler statement again over the Handles keyword?

And I was kidding about the C#...

I am using AddHandler statment over Handles keyword because all ASPX pages inherits a Base Page. Base Page has Context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated and Base Page Error to record Server Error to Error.Txt.

This was an example from a Wrox book -- ASP.NET Website Programming Problem-Design-Solution.

I use this with all ASPX pages.

Protected Overrides Sub OnInit(ByVal e As EventArgs)
            MyBase.OnInit(e)
            InitializeComponent()
        End Sub

        'This call is required by the Web Form Designer.
        <System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> _
        Private Sub InitializeComponent()
            AddHandler Me.Load, AddressOf Page_Load
        End Sub


Then my Base Page is:

Namespace ThePhile.Web

    Public Class BasePage
        Inherits System.Web.UI.Page


        ' Page Events
        '- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
        Protected Overrides Sub OnInit(ByVal e As EventArgs)

            MyBase.OnInit(e)
            AddHandler Me.Load, AddressOf BasePage_Load
            AddHandler Me.Error, AddressOf BasePage_Error

        End Sub


        Private Sub BasePage_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

            If Context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then

                If Not (TypeOf context.User Is SitePrincipal) Then



                    Dim newUser As New SitePrincipal(Context.User.Identity.Name)
                    Context.User = newUser

                End If

            End If

        End Sub


        Protected Sub BasePage_Error(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

            Dim currentError As Exception = Server.GetLastError()

            ' Write error to log file if not already done by AppException
            If Not (TypeOf currentError Is AppException) Then
                AppException.LogError(currentError.Message.ToStrin g)
            End If

            ' Show error on screen
            ShowError(currentError)

            ' Clear error so that it does not buble up to Application Level
            Server.ClearError()

        End Sub



        ' Shared Methods
        '- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

        Public Shared Sub ShowError(ByVal currentError As Exception)

            Dim context As HttpContext = HttpContext.Current

            context.Response.Write( _
              "<link rel=""stylesheet"" href=""/ThePhileVB/Styles/ThePhile.css"">" & _
              "<h2>Error</h2>" & _
              "An unexpected error has occurred on this page." & _
              "The system administrators have been notified.<br/>" & _
              "<br/><b>The error occurred in:</b>" & _
                "<pre>" & context.Request.Url.ToString & "</pre>" & _
              "<br/><b>Error Message:</b>" & _
                "<pre>" & currentError.Message.ToString & "</pre>" & _
              "<br/><b>Error Stack:</b>" & _
               "<pre>" & currentError.ToString & "</pre>")

        End Sub


    End Class

End Namespace

Is there a better way to do this to avoid my reseting "Handles MyBase.Load" problem?????

Hey,

I can see your situation. But no, there is nothing you can do about it. All you can do is wait until the next version comes out, and forces you to change all of your code! Sorry about that.

Brian

bmains,
So should I put code in Notepad and manually compile this?
What compiler do I use and where do I get this?

Huh?? What does any of that have to do with how the page load method is wired to the event handler (which is what we keep asking you about)?

What part of this do you not understand?:
Are you actually experiencing a problem when you use the method that visual studio puts in there and is "resetting", as you put it? I have several applications that have pages that inherit from a basepage class. In fact my latest project has pages that inherit from a chain of about 3 or 4 classes before "System.Web.UI.Page". This doesn't result in any problems with "Handles MyBase.Load" at all from what I've seen.

You can find the compiler in the framework directory which is typically found at "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322" or something similar. The VB compiler is "vbc.exe".
