A new starter! (with questions)

Question

Hi, I am a new starter with asp.net and c#. I have coded a simple page using a code behind file. I have used a server control and wired up the page_load method event in the c# file. In the page_load method I have tried to set the property of the Label text. When the page is displayed the label is blank. My question is can I not set the label text property in the page class load method? Thanks. Mark
