ajax and page_PreInit

Can someone please explain this to me.

Ive been trying to add some controls to a placeholder situated within a updatepanel.

According to microsoft i should create all dynamic controls in the page_preinit method. However when i did this the placeholder object was null.

When i moved the placeholder out of the updatepanel everything worked as expected

I moved the placeholder back into the updatepanel and moved the code to the page_preload method and i can now access the placeholder fine.

Im presuming that anything within an updatepanel cannot be access in the page_preiinit method, but can someone explain why.

Thanks in advance

Hi, I am having the same problem. Did you ever get an answer as to why this happens?

Thanks,

Steve
