Understand ASP.NET Page life cycle and remember stages in easy way


Hello friend, in this post I am going to share tips or my style of remembering ASP.NET page life cycle. Some of you might already use this style but still sharing for them who are not aware of this.

Since my school days I am using this technique to remember long answers questions and it was really worked for my entire study and still benefitting in cracking interviews. Though, technical interviews are not like mug up and write as it requires real understanding but still most of the time you can win the moment for particular question like ASP.NET page life cycle if you are able to tell all stages in sequence with confidence. It really helps a lot.

So let’s start.

With reference to the MSDN below are the stages or phases through which ASP.NET page goes.

1) Request

When the page is requested by a user, ASP.NET determines whether the page needs to be parsed and or whether a cached version of the page can be sent in response without running the page.

2) Start

At Start phase, page properties such as Request and Response are set. Depends on the request type i.e. New or Postback sets value to the IsPostBack property.

3) Initialization

In third phase i.e. page initialization, UniqueID property of control is set and if any themes available then it gets 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.

4) Load

If it’s postback request then this is the stage where control properties are loaded with information retrieved from view state and control state

5) Validation

 In this phase, IsValid property of individual validator controls and of the page set by calling Validate method of all validator.

6) Postback event handling

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

7) 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.

8) 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 cleanup is performed.


If you have read all above stages of ASP.NET life cycle then you can see I haven’t mentioned the events because if you are able to tell this it’s sufficient to show that you know ASP.NET page life cycle very well. But if interviewer has asked about page events then tell events only.

Coming to the point how to remember this, I usually prepare a code for such long answers (this is not so long but still) rather remembering full answer remembering code is very easy I feel and it also helps you to write or say your answer in points and i.e. too in sequence.

For ASP.NET Page life cycle I remembered the following code

R-SIL-VP-RU

Meaningless but Short and easy to remember, isn’t it?

I have taken starting letter of each stage name e.g. R for Request, S for Start and so on. In above answer sequence is very important so code is like that but where sequence is not important you can create some meaningful code which will help you to recall everything.

I hope you have benefitted by reading this post. Do share with your friends if found useful.
