Page Lifecycle Events

ASP.NET provides a very rich eventing mechanism with hooks into all the important chronological instances in the ASP.NET page lifecycle. This video will enumerate many of the common lifecycle events, their firing sequence and the kinds of things that you might use each event for.

L: Load

Note that the events are portrayed out of order in this video--Unload is covered first, and then all other events from PreInit through to Render. Looks like there was a problem in the editing room. But thanks!

Starts with unload event, then at the end "One last event..." then BLINK! finished :)

Apart from that, quite useful.

alva: There is modification is series...

There is no "Save" event.

And page_SaveStateComplete comes after Page_PreRenderComplete.

Here is the series..

Page_PreInit;

Page_Init;

Page_InitComplete;

Page_PreLoad;

Page_Load;

Page_LoadComplete;

Page_PreRender;

Page_PreRenderComplete;

Page_SaveStateComplete;
