Question

I’m a super beginner ASP.NET developer. I read that on every submit the request parameters are being populated to the controls and instead of reading the “Response.Form[]” parameters I can read the input parameters from the control itself.

Are there any events that I can catch all the submits before and after the magic happens?
Which method on the server side is activated that perform this magic?
Can I override it (for fun)?

Thanks,
Ronny

I believe that you are talking about the function of Viewstate and how control values are persisted.

This is a diagram that will show you the page load order for ASP.NET

For you, if you want to look before viewstate is loaded, you can work inside the Page_Init method.
