Hi, when you search for ASP.net page life cycle, then you will find n number of articles. I would like to share my experience in this regard assuming you have hosted ASP.net website in IIS.
What happens when you type URL in any browser?
How the request goes to the right server where the website is hosted?
How again, response goes to the client from the server?
you will get such questions in mind but my experience says there are lot of things that happens between typing a URL and till you get the response back. We can list down 100s of questions.
