[RESOLVED] [2005] Page Initialize Event in C#

Hi,

I have some code in a VB project that I would like to use in C#. The code is for a page that inherits from System.Web.UI.Page but has no UI (no aspx page) but just has the class page. Specifically, I'm trying to handle the Page Initialize event. Here is how I do it in VB:

Code:

---

        Private Sub CustomPage_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
                DoStuff()
        End Sub

---

I'm trying to do the same in C#, but the Init event doesn't fire:

Code:

---

                private void CustomPage_Init(Object sender, EventArgs e)
                {
                        DoStuff();
                }

---

Is there anyway to get the page events in C# to fire without having to have a page file (aspx page) associated with the class file? I know the C# version of Handles Me.Init needs to be handled, but I don't know how to do this in C# for a class that inherits from System.Web.UI.Page but doesn't have an aspx page associated with the class file.

Hey,

The first question would be why do you have a page that doesn't have any UI?!?! To me that doesn't make sense, unless I am missing something.

To answer your question though, you need to create the Event Handler for this, which would be something like:

Code:

---

this.Init += new EventHandler(CustomPage_Init);

---

Hope this helps!

Just what I was looking for .... thanks!

I'm doing some processing of all the controls on a page that inherit from my custom page. By putting this processing in my custom page and inheriting from it, I can do all of the processing in one place.

Thanks again!
