Google Chrome Frame IE Add-On Changes User Agent Sometimes While Not In Use

I was having session key troubles recently and finally tracked down the problem...The Google Chrome Frame Add-On for IE 8 changes the user agent under certain conditions; most notably the first page load or if you refresh the page by hitting Enter on the url bar instead of the Refresh icon.

In short, it either needs to inject this crap every time or only when I am using a Chrome Frame.

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; InfoPath.2; .NET CLR 3.0.30729)

Changed to this

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; InfoPath.2; .NET CLR 3.0.30729) chromeframe/5.0.342.0


Needless to say, I uninstalled this crap, but not before it ate up hours of my time tracking it down. I've lost a little faith in Google's goodness today along with those hours of time wasted.

DataBind not always after Page.PreRender...

So I just spent hours following Microsoft's Lifecycle Page, wondering why and how my GridView with a DataSourceId was binding AFTER the OnPreRender method on my Page.

It literally says (see those bold letters):


PreRender

Before this event occurs:

The PreRender event occurs for each control on the page. Use the event to make final changes to the contents of the page or its controls.



And...It is wrong. Your controls may start DataBinding before PreRender, but they are not DataBound until after PreRender is called.
