Web Page Life Cycle

Here I am not going to explain web request process but will just give you the sequence of occurance of a web page events.

Below is the sequence of web page events:

Page Initialization
Load ViewState
Load Post Data
Page Load
Raised Postback Changed Event
Raised Postback
Page PreRender
Save ViewState
Page Render
Page Unload

Now, lets take a scenario, there is a web page built upon a master page and contains a web usercontrol that has child web usercontrol in it.

Here is the sequence of events post execution of HttpModules:

Page- PreInit

Init - ChildUserControl
Init - UserControl
Init - MasterPage
Init - Page

Page- InitComplete

Page- PreLoad

Load- Page
Load- MasterPage
