Page Life Cycle
What happens when a user changes a control that has AutoPostBack
property set to True.

1. On the client side, the JavaScript _doPostBack function is invoked,


and the page is resubmitted to the server.
2. ASP.NET recreates the Page object using the .aspx file.
3. ASP.NET retrieves state information from the hidden view state field
and updates the controls accordingly.
4. The Page.Load event is fired.
5. The appropriate change event is fired for the control.
6. The Page.Unload event fires, and the page is rendered
(transformed from a set of objects to an Html page).
7. The new page is sent to the client.

Example: Event Tracker Application
• Simple event tracker application

• Write a new entry to a list control every time one of the events it’s
monitoring occurs.

• It represents the order in which events are triggered.

Code Behind
Protected Sub CtrlChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles chk.CheckedChanged, opt1.CheckedChanged,
opt2.CheckedChanged, txt.TextChanged
' Find the control ID of the sender.
' This requires converting the Object type into a Control class.

Dim ctrlName As String = CType(sender, Control).ID


Log(ctrlName & " Changed")

End Sub

Private Sub Log(ByVal entry As String)


lstEvents.Items.Add(entry)

' Select the last item to scroll the list so the most recent entries are visible.

lstEvents.SelectedIndex = lstEvents.Items.Count – 1
End Sub
