Unwinding the page lifecycle events

Since I spent some time today working with control extenders and exactly where in the page lifecycle to do what, I thought I’d share the whole list.

If (!IsPostBack)

  1. Begin PreInit
  2. End PreInit
  3. Begin Init
  4. End Init
  5. Begin InitComplete
  6. End InitComplete
  7. Begin PreLoad
  8. End PreLoad
  9. Begin Load
  10. End Load
  11. Begin LoadComplete
  12. End LoadComplete
  13. Begin PreRender
  14. End PreRender
  15. Begin PreRenderComplete
  16. End PreRenderComplete
  17. Begin SaveState
  18. End SaveState
  19. Begin SaveStateComplete
  20. End SaveStateComplete
  21. Begin Render
  22. End Render

If(IsPostBack)

  1. Begin PreInit
  2. End PreInit
  3. Begin Init
  4. End Init
  5. Begin InitComplete
  6. End InitComplete
  7. Begin LoadState
  8. End LoadState
  9. Begin ProcessPostData
  10. End ProcessPostData
  11. Begin PreLoad
  12. End PreLoad
  13. Begin Load
  14. End Load
  15. Begin ProcessPostData (Again)
  16. End ProcessPostData (Again)
  17. Begin Raise ChangedEvents
  18. End Raise ChangedEvents
  19. Begin Raise PostBackEvent
  20. End Raise PostBackEvent
  21. Begin LoadComplete
  22. End LoadComplete
  23. Begin PreRender
  24. End PreRender
  25. Begin PreRenderComplete
  26. End PreRenderComplete
  27. Begin SaveState
  28. End SaveState
  29. Begin SaveStateComplete
  30. End SaveStateComplete
  31. Begin Render
  32. End Render

    Ouch. While it is great information, it is lists like this that make so many people dislike Web Forms completely.

    I personally like PreInit and Init. Wish there was a PrePreInit or AlmostReadyToGetStartedInit.

    Still the performance is way better than the competitors, and flexible enough too. Might be a bit hard to get it the first time, but have seen worst things in programming. I'd still use ASP.NET Pages and not planning to change to MVC. :)

    Thanks for the list, will add it to my favorite resources.

    Nice.

    Isn't there a page on MSDN with this list? Including explanantion on what it does and what you should do where?

    If not, you should make it happen, misfitgeek!

    You can find a somewhat more complete list here: weblogs.asp.net/.../asp-net-events.

    You guys should add very important missing event ReloadIEifCrashed.

    Marcel - You may be the first person to post sarcasm AND have the courage to include a real link back !

    I'm so impressed I'm actually going to submit your feature request. (Though I can't guarantee it makes it in to the next version :) )

    Hi,

    Thank you for this useful blog, But I have a question, what if you use MasterPage and a base class for your web forms?

    Thank again

    HI Kourosh,

    What do you mean ?

    Great post Joe.

    But one thing that I am concerned about is where session lives. The docs say, in v2 of ASP.Net, that session should be available in the Init functions in the next release of ASP.Net. I checked, in v4 of ASP.Net, and tested a page, but session is still not available in Init functions. Guess the softies miss that one, I know I was disappointed.

    It would be great to see a similar list for controls, including specific lists for the various base classes of controls, including when an in what order data binding related events occur.

    Also, a suggestion for a future version: controls cannot use IsPostBack to determine first-time initialization or event logistics, such as these lists, the way pages can. For controls, this is determined instead by whether they are being created for the first time or reconstituted from view state. Even on post back, controls can be newly created (i.e. templated controls may choose to bind and instantiate templates on a postback). But there is no property that reveals this. So, I suggest an IsReload property for controls. While one can override LoadControlState, and set a flag there, to do that oneself, this is an impediment to beginning ASP.NET developers who want to use usercontrols.

    awesome.

    joe - that would've been nice if you can provide examples for each one them during the page life cycle.

    Joe,

    This is good, but now you need to fold in all the events that get included with data binding. I've just spent a large amount of time hassling with that. Apparently MSDN is wrong when it indicates that Databinding events for controls happen before the Page PreRender events. It's more like Page.PreRender, mycontrol.Databinding, mycontrol.DataBound, mycontrol.PreRender. Might seem esoteric, but it was critical today...
