The Agenda Anatomy of the ASP.NET Page Life Cycle

Page Start Agenda Start System Assigns Properties: Request Response UICulture System determines if the request is new or postback The Agenda Anatomy of the ASP.NET Page Life Cycle

Page Initialization Agenda Start System Prepares Controls: Initialization Available by UniqueID Properties set from code/CIF values Applies Theme & MasterPage Handled in PreInit The Agenda Anatomy of the ASP.NET Page Life Cycle

Page Load Agenda Start If IsPostBack: Initialization Restores Properties from State Load The Agenda Anatomy of the ASP.NET Page Life Cycle

Render Agenda Start Saves ViewState & Renders Initialization Load Render The Agenda Anatomy of the ASP.NET Page Life Cycle

Control Validation Agenda Start If IsPostBack & Validators exist: Initialization Runs Validate() for All Validators Load …even the disabled ones Validation Render The Agenda Anatomy of the ASP.NET Page Life Cycle

PostBack Events Agenda Start If IsPostBack: Initialization Runs any Event Handlers as needed Load Validation Includes events such as: Events Render TextBox.TextChanged DropDownList.SelectedIndexChanged Button.Click The Agenda Anatomy of the ASP.NET Page Life Cycle

Easy to Remember Agenda Start Initialization Load Validation “SILVER!” Events (as in medals & bars) Render The Agenda Anatomy of the ASP.NET Page Life Cycle

Easy to Remember Agenda Start Load Initialization Validation Wait. “SLIVER?!?” Events (no, not wood) Render The Agenda Anatomy of the ASP.NET Page Life Cycle

Easy to Remember Agenda Start Load Initialization Validation Huh? “LIVER?!?” Events (eww. gross. and there’s no onions) Render The Agenda Anatomy of the ASP.NET Page Life Cycle

Easy to Remember Agenda Start Initialization Load Validation “Hi-yo, Silver, away!” Events (The Lone Ranger) Render The Agenda Anatomy of the ASP.NET Page Life Cycle
