Hello Rodchar
Is OnInit and Page_Init the same thing?
Click to expand...
There are 3 different things.

"Init" is the event
"OnInit" is the method that raises the "Init" event
"Page_Init" (Or some else name) is the name of the eventhandler that is
attached to an (typically Init) event

If you want to handle the event, you can:

1. Wire up the Init Event and handle the event in a eventhanler methode (for
example: Page_Init)
2. Overwrite the "OnInit" method and implement some logic in there,
additionaly you can (or in some cases should) call the base.OnInit()
method, otherwise the implementation of the base class would`t run.
 
Thank you Peter for the insight.
Rod.
