asp:Label value not outputting

I found the issue. In case anyone is wondering or knows why on earth this happened: I started comparing the #region Web Form Designer generated code of the test.aspx file with that of the fiels not working and I saw that somehow "this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);" was removed from the "private void InitializeComponent()" event. Putting that back in fixes the issue. I certainly did not remove it and no one is working on this workstation except me and it appears to have happened more than once. It says right in that block: "Required method for Designer support - do not modify the contents of this method with the code editor." I /never/ use design mode and anyway I never modify that block, so I don't care about design mode, but by the same token, I can't have VS taking out code from that block willy-nilly with no way of knowing why or when. Anyone know why that could be happening? Thank you, Kyle
