Initializing a Web Form at Run Time

In Windows forms, you can place code in the Form_Load event to initialize the form when it first loads; in Web forms, you use the Page_Load event instead:

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
       'Put user code to initialize the page here
   End Sub

For an example, see "Writing HTML to a Web Form at Run Time" later in this chapter.
