title: ASP.NET VB Page_Load not firing
body: <p>Getting straight to the point, I've been searching around and can't find a solution to this. I have an ASP.NET web page with a VB code behind that isn't entering the <code>Page_Load</code> Sub. </p>
  
  <p>I've read suggestions regarding adding "Handles Me.Load" to the Sub or checking the AutoEventWireup(tried setting it true, it's currently set to false). </p>
  
  <p>I'm not finding anything so any help is appreciated in advance. Below is some of the code.</p>
  
  <p>Front End:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%@ Page Title="" Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.Master" CodeBehind="ThisPage.aspx.vb" Inherits="Project.ThisPage" %&gt;
  &lt;asp:Content ID="Content" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPH" runat="server"&gt;
      &lt;%-- insert content here --%&gt;
  &lt;/asp:Content&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Back End:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Partial Public Class ThisPage
      Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
  
      Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
          ' Insert logic here
      End Sub
  
  End Class
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I assume other code shouldn't be necessary as the only thing happening is some variables are being set and assigned to a control that's on the page. If that's not the case I can add more. I tried setting a break point and it's just never entering the sub.</p>
