Understanding Page and WebControl lifecycle events

[afroblanca]

Hello all,

I'm having a very difficult time finding good articles on the page lifecycle and control lifecycle. It's really easy to find articles that cover *only* the page lifecycle, and it's also really easy to find articles that cover *only* the control lifecycle. However, what I need is an article that covers both, and lists the order in which all of the events happen for both lifecycles. For example, something like this would be extremely helpful :

1) Controls' OnInit events fire
2) Page's OnInit event fires
3) Page's OnLoad event fires
4) Controls' OnInit events fire
..........
20) Page's OnDispose event fires

I don't know why I'm having such a tough time finding an article like this. I'd think others would find it highly valuable as well.

Thanks for your help. I wound up doing it on my own. Here's what I got :

CONTROL : protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
PAGE : protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
PAGE : protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
CONTROL : protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
PAGE : protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
CONTROL : protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
PAGE : protected override object SaveViewState()
CONTROL : protected override object SaveViewState()
CONTROL : protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
PAGE : protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
