First, you can check, if Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD")= "POST". That is, assuming, you use POST method to submit the form, the initial load will have GET method, the subsequent submits will be POST.

You can also add a hidden field in your form, if that variable is set in POST data (Request.Form object), you will know it is a postback, otherwise it is the first load.
