    <p>The Usercontrol I am creating is made up of 3 files as expected (ascx, ascx.cs, and ascx.designer.cs)</p> <p>My Problem :</p> <p>Controls created in the aspx page ( asp:Button runat="server" id="mybutton" />) are not being initialized properly, such that attaching to the 'Load' event, and trying to use button, results in a null object exception</p> <p>I suspect this is a Visual Studio problem, either weird bug or unusal setting, but it wouldn't surprise me if I'm doing something silly.</p> <p>My attempted work-a-arounds</p> <ol> <li><p>I've copied another working User control from a different project into this project in visual studio and it too does not work (controls defined in ascx page are null in load event in code behind page, though they work fine where I copied them from)</p></li> <li><p>I'm using the 'CreateChildControls()' method, as I've done in some other composite controls, but then everything is still null in the load and init events</p></li> <li><p>I've created a seperate solution and project file, and added all the files and references, but still, this does not help the situation.</p></li> </ol> <p>It appears to me that the 'page life cycle' (control life cycle?) is not initializing the controls properly for some reason, but cant see why, please someone help.</p> <p>Posting my code as request :</p> <pre><code>PersonalDetails.aspx &lt;cwpEditControl:PersonalDetails runat="server" id="edtPersonalDetails" /&gt; PersonalDetails.ascx &lt;%@ Control Language="C#" CodeBehind="PersonalDetails.ascx.cs" Inherits="company.web.CustomerWebPortal.controls.edit.PersonalDetails" %&gt; &lt;asp:Button runat="server" ID="myTestButton" /&gt; PersonalDetails.ascx.cs public PersonalDetails() { this.Load += new EventHandler(PersonalDetails_Load); } void PersonalDetails_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.myTestButton.Text = "Submit"; //this line creates an exception! } PersonalDetails.ascx.designer.cs protected global::System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button myTestButton; </code></pre>

    3. CO@Rawling, those answers are about dynamic loading of controls, I am specifically NOT calling '= new Button()' (for example), or dynamically adding anything . The control defined in the ascx page should be loaded by the .NET framework by the time the 'load' event happens, it isn't, why not? (or my understanding is wrong, lol)

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
