If I create a usercontrol and place it on a page like so

<uc:MyTextBox ID="mtb1" runat="server" PROPS="Declarative Set Property" />

FYI - I've already created the Public Property PROPS get/set...

My question is this.

Is there a method that occurs inside a usercontrol that I can override that occurs before the PROPS property is assigned "Declarative Set Property".

I know it can't be done in New as the textbox inside a usercontrol doesn't exist when the usercontrols new function is fired.

I also know that PreInit doesn't exist for a user control.

Thanks in advance
