Accessing Controls During Page_Load and Page_Init
The properties such as UserName and CurrentPassword, can be used along any event of the Login controls.along the Page_Init and Page_Load event, these properties have the same value they had when the ChangePassword control was rendered. If the user changes the value of the UserName property by modifying the UserName text box, the new value will be available when the changed event is raised, which occurs after the Page_Load phase. Therefore, if you set the value of the UserName property in the Page_Init phase or Page_Load phase and provide a custom handler for a ChangePassword event, any change that the user makes in the UserName text box overrides the value set in the Page_Init or Page_Load phase.
