c# - ASP.NET page 'Page_Load' firing before Master Page's 'Page_Load' event?

Question

On my Master Page, I have a little method in the Page_Load event that checks to see if a user is logged in, and redirects them to the Login page if not.

The problem is that for some of my pages the Page_Load events presume a users logged are in, and these events seems to fire before the login check in the master page, which causes errors.

What are some ways around this? Any events I can use other than Page_Load in my pages, that'll fire after the master page?

Answer 1

You have a rich Page Cycle with lots of events to use. Perhaps you could use Page_Init to check if the user is logged-in in the Master Page. Or use Page_PreRender in the other pages.
