Here is the code I am using to pull my usercontrol (content.ascx):

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

'load module 
        If TheModule = "content" Then
            Dim control As UserControl = LoadControl("~\Modules\Content.ascx")
            Controls.Add(control)
        End If

  End Sub

Within the usercontrol is the following code (data access taken care of by DAAB and ive replaced sql statements with 'sql'):

        'get links

        reader = db.ExecuteReader(command)
        While reader.Read
            Linksrepeater.DataSource = reader
            Linksrepeater.DataBind()
        End While

    End Sub
End Class

Now instead of seeing my page content and what should be within the repeaters on the page all I get is 2 x the output of Response.Write("(1 Test from within page_load)")

(1 Test from within page_load)(1 Test from within page_load)

This leads me to believe the page_load is firing twice, but not properly displaying all the information.

Please can one of you willing experts help me to get this working?

Thanks a lot in advance
