I have the following PerformanceFactsheet.aspx.cs page class
public partial class PerformanceFactsheet : FactsheetBase
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// do stuff with the data extracted in FactsheetBase
divPerformance.Controls.Add(this.Data);
}
}
where FactsheetBase is defined as
public class FactsheetBase : System.Web.UI.Page
{
public MyPageData Data { get; set; }
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// get data that's common to all implementors of FactsheetBase
// and store the values in FactsheetBase's properties
this.Data = ExtractPageData(Request.QueryString["data"]);
}
}
The problem is that FactsheetBase's Page_Load is not executing.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Is there a better way to get the result I'm after?
Thanks
We faced the similar problem, All you need to do is just register the handler in the constructor. :)
public class FactsheetBase : System.Web.UI.Page
{
public FactsheetBase()
{
this.Load += new EventHandler(this.Page_Load);
}
public MyPageData Data { get; set; }
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// get data that's common to all implementors of FactsheetBase
// and store the values in FactsheetBase's properties
this.Data = ExtractPageData(Request.QueryString["data"]);
}
}
Another approach would be to override OnLoad() which is less preferred.
public class FactsheetBase : System.Web.UI.Page
{
public FactsheetBase()
{
}
public MyPageData Data { get; set; }
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
//your code
// get data that's common to all implementors of FactsheetBase
// and store the values in FactsheetBase's properties
this.Data = ExtractPageData(Request.QueryString["data"]);
base.OnLoad(e);
}
}
