Hi Guys,

 I have created a property based on a string and overridden the CreateEditControls() method as follows:

public override void CreateEditControls()
{
ipsvPicker = (IpsvPicker)Page.LoadControl("~/templates/controls/IpsvPicker.ascx");

Controls.Add(ipsvPicker);
} 

I have also overridden the ApplyEditChanges like this:

public override void ApplyEditChanges()
{
SetValue(ipsvPicker.GetIpsvDescription());
} 

 ipsvPicker is a user control that contains a  TreeView. GetIpsvDescription returns all the selected nodes as a string.

 For some reason, when I first publish the page,  GetIpsvDescription() returns "". The second time I publish, everything works correctly.

 If anyone could give me any advise as to why this might be, it's be greatly apreciated.

 Thanks
