The controls on the page are in the HTML side and are not added (by myself) to the controls collection after the page has started loading.
>From what I read in the MSDN documentation, I thought the event sequence would be as you said. I kind of fixed my problem by setting the properties of the child controls during the parent controls RenderChildren method. However this is less than ideal as it works fine in this instance, but I have another situation with another control where a property is best set before the child controls Page_Load event. I guess what I really need is a better understanding of when child control events are fired in relation to their parent, and if it is possible to change the order (ie force the event or control to load). Does you or anyone else know the proper order or where I can find out?
