  • Start - During this stage sets the Request and Response page properties and the page check the page request is either a postback or a new request
  • Page Initialization - During this stage, the page initialize and the control's Unique Id property are set
  • Load - During this stage, if the request is postback, the control properties are loaded without loading the view state and control state otherwise loads the view state
  • Validation - During this stage, the controls are validated
  • Postback event handling - During this stage, if the request is a postback, handles the event
