ASP.Net Page Common Life-cycle Events

PreInit 

Use this event for the following:
• Check the IsPostBack property to determine whether this is the first time the page is
being processed.
• Create or re-create dynamic controls.
• Set a master page dynamically.
• Set the Theme property dynamically.
• Read or set profile property values.
Note: If the request is a postback, the values of the controls have not yet been restored
from view state. If you set a control property at this stage, its value might be overwritten
in the next event.

Init
 Raised after all controls have been initialized and any skin settings have been applied. Use
this event to read or initialize control properties.

InitComplete
 Raised by the Page object. Use this event for processing tasks that require all initialization
be complete.

PreLoad 
Use this event if you need to perform processing on your page or control before the Load
event. After the Page raises this event, it loads view state for itself and all controls, and
then processes any postback data included with the Request instance.

Load 
The Page calls the OnLoad event method on the Page, then recursively does the same for
each child control, which does the same for each of its child controls until the page and all
controls are loaded.

Control events
Use these events to handle specific control events, such as a Button control's Click event or
a TextBox control's TextChanged event. In a postback request, if the page contains
validator controls, check the IsValid property of the Page and of individual validation
controls before performing any processing.

LoadComplete Use this event for tasks that require that all other controls on the page be loaded.

PreRender
 Before this event occurs:
• The Page object calls EnsureChildControls for each control and for the page.
• Each data bound control whose DataSourceID property is set calls its DataBind
method.
• The PreRender event occurs for each control on the page. Use the event to make final
changes to the contents of the page or its controls.

SaveStateComplete
Before this event occurs, ViewState has been saved for the page and for all controls. Any
changes to the page or controls at this point will be ignored. Use this event perform tasks
that require view state to be saved, but that do not make any changes to controls.

Render 
This is not an event; instead, at this stage of processing, the Page object calls this method
on each control. All ASP.NET Web server controls have a Render method that writes out
the control's markup that is sent to the browser. If you create a custom control, you
typically override this method to output the control's markup. However, if your custom
control incorporates only standard ASP.NET Web server controls and no custom markup,
you do not need to override the Render method. A user control (an .ascx file) automatically
incorporates rendering, so you do not need to explicitly render the control in code.

Unload 
This event occurs for each control and then for the page. In controls, use this event to do
final cleanup for specific controls, such as closing control-specific database connections. For
the page itself, use this event to do final cleanup work, such as closing open files and
database connections, or finishing up logging or other request-specific tasks. Note: During
the unload stage, the page and its controls have been rendered, so you cannot make
further changes to the response stream. If you attempt to call a method such as the
Response.Write method, the page will throw an exception.

Asp.Net Page Life Cycle Stages

General Page Life-cycle Stages

Page request

 The page request occurs before the page life cycle begins. When the page is requested by a
user, ASP.NET determines whether the page needs to be parsed and compiled or whether a
cached version of the page can be sent in response without running the page.

Start 

In the start step, page properties such as Request and Response are set. At this stage, the page
also determines whether the request is a postback or a new request and sets the IsPostBack
property. Additionally, during the start step, the page's UICulture property is set.

Page initialization

During page initialization, controls on the page are available and each control's UniqueID
property is set. Any themes are also applied to the page. If the current request is a postback,
the postback data has not yet been loaded and control property values have not been restored
to the values from view state.

Load 

During load, if the current request is a postback, control properties are loaded with information
recovered from view state and control state.

Validation 

During validation, the Validate method of all validator controls is called, which sets the IsValid
property of individual validator controls and of the page.

Postback event handling

If the request is a postback, any event handlers are called.

Rendering 

Before rendering, view state is saved for the page and all controls. During the rendering phase,
the page calls the Render method for each control, providing a text writer that writes its output
to the OutputStream of the page's Response property.

Unload 

Unload is called after the page has been fully rendered, sent to the client, and is ready to be
discarded. At this point, page properties such as Response and Request are unloaded and any clean-up is performed.
