Control..::.Load Event

Updated: November 2007

Occurs when the server control is loaded into the Page object.

Namespace:  System.Web.UI
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Event Load As EventHandler
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As Control
Dim handler As EventHandler

AddHandler instance.Load, handler
C#
public event EventHandler Load
Visual C++
public:
 event EventHandler^ Load {
    void add (EventHandler^ value);
    void remove (EventHandler^ value);
}
J#
/** @event */
public void add_Load (EventHandler value)
/** @event */
public void remove_Load (EventHandler value)
JScript
JScript does not support events.

Notifies the server control to perform any processing steps that are set to occur on each page request. You can access view state information and Web form POST data from this event. You can also access other server controls within the page's control hierarchy.

Note:

If you set a custom template in a control during the Page_Load event, the text values of child controls in the custom template will be lost. This occurs because the form values have already been loaded.
