ASP.NET Control, Page and Application execution lifecycle

.NET Tips

Erik Porter has compiled links to info on Page lifecycle in ASP.NET. You know, those Load, Init and PreRender events... Well, you'll get a lot more than these if you follow the links!

I particularly recommend Brady Gaster's post (update: link dead) which offers a flat view of all the events from Application to Controls. Only Application_Start and Application_End are missing, but I guess you'd know where to put these ;-)

I'd also add a pointer to the official documentation in the .NET Framework Developer's Guide on MSDN.

Update: a nice picture can be found here.
Update: ASP.NET Page Life Cycle Overview from MSDN

Thanks for linking to that list, glad you like it...thank everyone who actually created the links! :)

I added your suggestion to the list! I guess that should've been an article instead of a blog entry! :P

Hi Fabrice, just to say that both links are not working (404)

Thanks Dave. I've just updated the first link and added new ones.
