asp.net: what's the page life cycle order of a control/page compared to a user contorl inside it?

Question

I have an aspx and inside it an ascx. From a short testing I see the PageLoad of the aspx is called before the PageLoad of the user-Control but the opposite is true for OnInit.

Does someone know what is the order of the events (page compared to a user-control inside it)

Thanks

Answer 1

You should look at this ASP.NET Page Life Cycle Overview and this

Page: PreInit
Control: Init
Page: Init
Page: InitComplete
Page: PreLoad
Page: Load
Control: Load
Page: LoadComplete
Page: PreRender
Control: PreRender
Page: PreRenderComplete
Page: SaveStateComplete
Page: RenderControl
Page: Render
Control: RenderControl
Control: Unload
Control: Dispose
Page: Unload
Page: Dispose

@EladBenda ASP.NET Page Life Cycle Overview says, "The Page object calls the OnLoad method on the Page object, and then recursively does the same for each child control until the page and all controls are loaded. The Load event of individual controls occurs after the Load event of the page. Use the OnLoad event method to set properties in controls and to establish database connections." – Sighted
