Accessing a Hidden HTML field in the OnInit() method

I need to access a hidden HTML field on post back from the OnInit
method. This hidden field value has been set previously in the
Page_load event.

simplified example is as follows: IN THE CODE BEHIND

protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
Label1.Text = myHiddenFeild.Value;
}

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
myHiddenFeild.Value = "Hello World";
}

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Just added so I could postBack
}

IN THE ASPX PAGE:

Untitled Page

Expected Result
---------------------
When I press the button the label is updated with the hidden field
value " Hello World".

Actual Result
-------------------
Is nothing happens.

Debugging
-----------------
When debugging the hidden field value (myHiddenFeild) is empty in the
Oninit method, but as soon as it the execution reaches the Page_load
method then the myHiddenFeild as a value again.

Sorry if I'm being dense and staring the obvious in the face. As
always many thanks for any replys.

Cheers
Alun

When a page is posted back, page initialisation happens before ViewState has
been reloaded...

In other words, (On)Init happens before Page_Load, right?
