I have this method on a webpart:
private IFilterData _filterData = null; [ConnectionConsumer('Filter Data Consumer')] public void GetConnectionInterface(IFilterData filterData) { _filterData = filterData; }
Now, before I can call upon _filterData, I need to know when i can expect it to not be null. When is this?!
Without knowing this, the best I can do is stuff all of my _filterWebpart dependent code into the last lines of OnPreRender and hope for the best.
According to this document, it looks like Load.
