Need to get ascx behavior into a aspx file, with Dynamic Data

I like the way the Custom Control allows me to rename columns in the Label_Init Event. But I find no such ability with the Details.aspx page.

I am a bit lost in this script code that's auto generated for an out-of-the-box Dynamic Data website.

Please point out how I can get the Details.aspx Page to call an event when ASP.NET is rendering the page, since I need to assign different values for the lable.Text for each column.

Thanks,
newieweb

Custom Control
==============
<%@ Control Language="C#" CodeBehind="Default_Insert.ascx.cs" Inherits="RDDBWebAdmin.Default_InsertEntityTemplate" %>

<%@ Reference Control="~/DynamicData/EntityTemplates/Default.ascx" %>

<asp:EntityTemplate runat="server" ID="EntityTemplate1">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <tr class="td">
            <td class="DDLightHeader">
                <asp:Label runat="server" OnInit="Label_Init" OnPreRender="Label_PreRender" />
            </td>
            <td>
                <asp:DynamicControl runat="server" ID="DynamicControl" Mode="Insert" OnInit="DynamicControl_Init" />
            </td>
        </tr>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:EntityTemplate>


Details.aspx Page
=================
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site.master" CodeBehind="Details.aspx.cs" Inherits="RDDBWebAdmin.Details" %>


<asp:Content ID="headContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" Runat="Server">
</asp:Content>

        </DataControls>
    </asp:DynamicDataManager>

    <h2 class="DDSubHeader">Entry from table <%= /*table.DisplayName*/ Title %></h2>

    <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">

            <asp:DynamicValidator runat="server" ID="DetailsViewValidator" ControlToValidate="FormView1" Display="None" CssClass="DDValidator" />

            <asp:FormView runat="server" ID="FormView1" DataSourceID="DetailsDataSource" OnItemDeleted="FormView1_ItemDeleted" RenderOuterTable="false">

                        <asp:DynamicEntity runat="server" />
                        <tr class="td">
                            <td colspan="2">
                                <asp:DynamicHyperLink runat="server" Action="Edit" Text="Edit" />
                                <asp:LinkButton runat="server" CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete"
                                    OnClientClick='return confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this item?");' />
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                    </table>
                </ItemTemplate>
                <EmptyDataTemplate>
                    <div class="DDNoItem">No such item.</div>
                </EmptyDataTemplate>
            </asp:FormView>

            <asp:EntityDataSource ID="DetailsDataSource" runat="server" EnableDelete="true" />

            <asp:QueryExtender TargetControlID="DetailsDataSource" ID="DetailsQueryExtender" runat="server">
                <asp:DynamicRouteExpression />
            </asp:QueryExtender>

            <br />

            <div class="DDBottomHyperLink">
                <asp:DynamicHyperLink ID="ListHyperLink" runat="server" Action="List">Show all items</asp:DynamicHyperLink>

That does indeed hit the breakpoint when rendering the page.

How do I determine of the "sender" is a column header label?

Thanks,

"if the" NOT "of the"
In fact, I just noticed it gets called once for the page, not once for each label.

I'm a little confused at how to use this event?

Thanks.
