When would InitializeCulture be called

I found many pages of my maintenance website inherits a base page which overrides InitializeCulture to customize some globalization settings.

Is this method call开发者_高级运维ed every time for any incoming request?

According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.page.initializeculture.aspx it's going to get called very early (like, even before controls are added early) in the page-initialization process. So yes, it would be called each time an aspx page that derives from your base page is requested.

Yes, if InitializeCulture is called on a base page it will be called on every page that inherits that base page and on every incoming request.

You can always try putting a line like: HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("intializing culture"); Inside the function call. It will appear at the top of every page that inherits the class to prove to you that it's always being called.

Yes, and for each BrowserLink update too, as I have just found out. (Using Visual Studio 2015 and Google Chrome today.)

It this annoys you, you can disable Browserlink.
