Lifecycle
A user sits at her browser and types in a URL. A
web page appears, with text and images and
buttons and so forth. She fills in a text box and
clicks on a button. What is going on behind the
scenes?
Every request made of the web server initiates a sequence of
steps. These steps, from beginning to end,
constitute the lifecycle of the page.
When a page is requested, it is loaded, processed, sent to the user,

Chapter 7.)
The Page itself is at the root of the tree. All
the named controls are included in the tree, referenced by control

and HTML tags, are represented in the tree as
LiteralControls. The order of controls in the tree is strictly hierarchical ...
