Can someone tell me with .NET, when do the control properties become available? With the following code

    Protected Sub Page_init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
        Dim CurrentRecord As Int32 = Request.QueryString("user_id")
        Dim i As Int32

        Response.Write(CurrentRecord)               ' For testing
        Response.Write(VarType(CurrentRecord))      ' For testing
        Response.Write(FormView1.DataItemCount)     ' For testing

        For i = 0 To FormView1.DataItemCount - 1
            Response.Write(i)
            If FormView1.DataKey(i).value = CurrentRecord Then
                FormView1.PageIndex = "3"           ' For testing
                Exit For
            End If
        Next
    End Sub

the third response.write produces a 0 even though the formview has several records available to it. Probably my code is wrong but I think I'm getting close. The Formview1.init is set to Page_load.


Thanks
