Velocity Reviews - Page_Load called twice in child user control--AutoEventWireup=false

Hello

I have an application which has a user control on an ASPx page. This user control programmatically adds another user control to its Control collection in its Page_Load event handler. The child user control adds a web control in its Page_Load event handler

AutoEventWireup is set to "false" for both ASCX pages (and the default.aspx page)

The child user control's Page_Load is being called twice

Can anyone explain this

Regards
Glen
