In regards to this, I believe the PreRequestHandlerExecute() event does not fire on a redirect. If a page, during a postback, is redirecting to another page, this event will fire on the page doing the postback but not on the redirected page. So, I end up in the situation that oPage is not initialized for the redirected page. The redirected page appears ok however. But, the oPage reference still points to the page that did the postback because this event does not fire on a redirect.

What do you recommend as far as adjustments go? Is the application factory class the only way to achieve that?
