WebPart Lifecycle

Most of the SharePoint developer may know the life cycle of ASP.NET. While working with SharePoint, it may possible not aware with Web Part life cycle. I am trying to explain SharePoint 2010 Web Part life cycle in this post.

It is very much similar as ASP.NET page life cycle with enhancement of few events.

OnInit: This method handles initialization of the control.

OnLoad: This event handles the Load event and also used for initialize the control. But it is not intended for loading data or other processing functionality.

CreateChildControls: This creates any child controls.

EnsureChildControls: This method ensures that CreateChildControls has executed. EnsureChildControls method must be called to prevent null reference exceptions.

SaveViewState: View state of the web part saved.

OnPreRender: This method handles or initiates tasks such as data loading that must complete before the control can render.

Page.PreRenderComplete: The page fires the PreRenderComplete event after all controls have completed their OnPreRender methods.

Render: This method is used to render everything.

RenderContents: Renders the contents of the control only, inside of the outer tags and style properties.

OnUnload: Performs the final clean up.

I hope this will help to understand Web Part life cycle.
