In Bellinaso/Hoffman's book they use a PhilePage superclass, which inherits from System.Web.UI.Page, to contain code common to all pages in their app. This seems like a great idea. However, when I run the code and call say Default.aspx, the Page_Load event of the PhilePage is called AFTER that of the Default.aspx page! This seems to make a nonsense of the whole idea, or am I missing something!?

Thanks

I cannot to understand you say.
>>when I run the code and call say Default.aspx, the Page_Load event of the PhilePage is called AFTER that of the Default.aspx page!
What do you want to do?
PhilePage's Page_Load event will run before other page events of all.
you can to do a sample, put "Response.Write" in PhilePage's PhilePage_Load event. and put in other page of another. then retry open your page...

What the web can be.

I too have had the same problem, I found that in the OnInit of the webform if you change the order of the calls so that base.OnInit(e); fires before InitializeComponent(); the PhilePage events will run first.
