Hi, I am using multiview webcontrol within which I have about 10 views, each view has a reference to user control (ascx page). with button Next or Prev I am switching active views. In my multiview I have set active view index to be the first view.
My only problem is I want to load only active view but its running all the asp page life cycle of sub-sequent view. i.e it is hitting all the break points of page load event for all the views. in page load i have lots of db calls and I want to only trigger the page load event for the view that is active. I have went through this article
https://msmvps.com/blogs/luisabreu/archive/2008/02/20/multiview-control-should-you-use-it.aspx[^]

but its not helping, I am using vb code so I changed this to below code as per above article

Protected Overrides Sub Render(writer As HtmlTextWriter)
Dim contentPlaceHolder As ContentPlaceHolder = DirectCast(Master.FindControl("cphBody"), ContentPlaceHolder)
Dim activeView As String = myMultiview.GetActiveView.ID
If activeView IsNot Nothing Then
contentPlaceHolder.FindControl(activeView).RenderControl(writer)
End If
End Sub

I would really appreciate if anyone can point me to right direction. thanks

I think each time when post back happens, each view of a multiview control is also goes through its life cycle.since it is a child control of multiview control, we cannot avoid it.

ok if its goes through the page cycle, how can i check which view is active in ascx so i can avoid running databind if this ascx is not active?

if not, how do I at least check which view in multiview is active at the beginning so I could set the active view property in page load of aspx so I check that value in page load property of all ascx and if the viewname matches current view where ascx resides call the load() function in page load event of ascx
