page load event

[EyeTalion]

this is in ASP.NET...but I'm using the codebehind page which is VB.NET

in the codebehind page I placed some code to fill my combo box, sorry that was 6.0 talk, my dropdownlist. Heres the code I'm using and it's the only code I have in the page load event.

Me.DropDownList1.Items.Add(New ListItem("Database1", "D"))
Me.DropDownList1.Items.Add(New ListItem("Database2", "P")

When I run my page I get double data in my dropdownlist from each line of code. I went into debug mode and it is in fact going through the code twice. It's goes to the end sub and then goes back to page_load and runs the same code again. Any reason why it's going through this procedure twice?

thanks,
eye

Try testing for postback:

If Not Me.Postback() Then
   Me.DropDownList1.Items.Add(New ListItem("Database1", "D"))
   Me.DropDownList1.Items.Add(New ListItem("Database2", "P")
End If

I'm trying to use the postback method and I'm getting an error that it's not a member of my app..

If Not Me.Postback() Then
Me.DropDownList1.Items.Add(New ListItem("Database1", "D"))
Me.DropDownList1.Items.Add(New ListItem("Database2", "P")
End If

Sorry its actually IsPostBack.

postback stays false and it still goes through the code twice.

Anyone know why it would go through the page load code twice?
