Changing the MailDefinition.BodyFileName of PasswordRecovery control programmatically?

Hi,

I have a passwordRecovery control and a custom text file which contains the Body of the email. I get the email fine if I specify the File name at design time in the MailDefinition of the PasswordRecovery control:

<MailDefinition From="info@Intamac.com" Subject="Your New Password" BodyFileName="PasswordMail.txt">
</MailDefinition>

However I need to set the Text file at runtime based on the users current theme. I have tried to do this in the PasswordRecovery's sendingMail event but this just sends the default email out. ie (doesn't apply the text file) here's what i'm doing:

Protected Sub PswdRecovery_SendingMail(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.MailMessageEventArgs) Handles PswdRecovery.SendingMail
Me.PswdRecovery.MailDefinition.BodyFileName = "PasswordMail.txt"
End Sub

The text file is in the same dir as the page so this isn't the problem. Any ideas?

I tried putting it in the page load event but only on a load eg:

If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
Me.PswdRecovery.MailDefinition.BodyFileName = miscFunctions.getThemeDir & "/PasswordMail.txt"
End If

This didn't work unless I take it out of the if condition. At least now it works but this will fire multiple times. Is there an event I can use which will only fire this once?

Is there a problem if the BodyFileName is set twice?

It doesn't effect the outcome but I just wondered whether there was a more efficient way. In this instance, your right, I suppose it's not much of a perfomance hit. Thanks for your help.
