public void Page_DataRendering() {

}

Try the Page_Load or Page_Render server events.

Thanks, I got that to work under Page_Render but now how do I make this work on an if statement.

I'm trying to hide a field if the current user level is 4... I've tried many options including the options in the guide which only refers to username... and even that won't work.
This is my code... Thanks

public void Page_Render () { if (CurrentUserLevel() == "4") Level.Visible = false;
}

You can add more debugging codes to test. For example (make sure that Tools -> Advanced Settings -> Debug / Log to file are enabled):

Log("current user level: " + CurrentUserLevel());
if (CurrentUserLevel() == "4") {
Level.Visible = false;
Log("set visible to false");
} else {
Log("visible not changed");
}

Check the log file for the debugging messages.
