can someone confirm my understanding about asp.net live cycle?

Question

my goal is to find a way to update the title of the page at the very last moment before it get created

I have a master page and a content place holder that always contain a page with a specific property.

that property can be updated anywhere in the code but I want the final value of that tag to be the html title

is the prerender event of that page the best place to set the title?

Answer 1

PreRender is one place where you could set the title, another -later- is PreRenderComplete:

protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.PreRenderComplete += Page_PreRenderComplete;
    this.SaveStateComplete += Page_SaveStateComplete;
}

Edit: Just noticed that you can even use SaveStateComplete event, that should be latest place where you could change the title:

protected void Page_PreRenderComplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Page.Title = "late title";
}


protected void Page_SaveStateComplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Page.Title = "very late title";
}
