e

An EventArgs object that contains the event data.

Remarks

ASP.NET calls this method to raise the Init event. If you are developing a custom control, you can override this method in order to provide additional processing. If you override this method, call the base control's OnInit method to notify subscribers to the event.

Examples
' Override the OnInit method to set _text to  
' a default value if it is null.
<System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSetAttribute( _
  System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Demand, _
    Name:="FullTrust")> _
Protected Overrides Sub OnInit(ByVal e As EventArgs)
    MyBase.OnInit(e)
    If _text Is Nothing Then
        _text = "Here is some default text." 
    End If 
End Sub 'OnInit
// Override the OnInit method to set _text to 
// a default value if it is null.
[System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSet
    (System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Demand, 
     Name="FullTrust")] 
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
   base.OnInit(e);
   if ( _text == null)
        _text = "Here is some default text.";
}
