Hi, I have a user control in which I set some style properties 
programmatically, like so:

divMain.Style.Add("width", Me.PixelWidth.ToString & "px")
Dim iInnerWidth As Integer = Me.PixelWidth - 2
ddlCategory.Style.Add("width", iInnerWidth.ToString)
ddlLocation.Style.Add("width", iInnerWidth.ToString)

I've tried setting these style attributes during the page_load and 
page_prerender events of the user control, but for some reason the styles do 
not seem to be applied until there has been a postback on the page, and 
suddenly everything "pops" to the correct width. What am I missing here? 
Thanks in advance...

Hi Monty,

Where are you putting these code? Normally, if you change properties 
*after* Render, the changes will not be shown on the page until next 
postback.

Try tossing it in Page_Init or creating an event for that stage of the life 
cycle.  If you use Page_Load, your controls are already built and will be 
populated from state; rendering is even further down the chain--when your 
controls are streamed out to the HTTP stream.

Page_Init is usually where style information and such is applied. :D

HTH.

Duh! Of course. Thanks David, that is exactly correct.
