The ASP.NET Life Cycles
Adam Freeman · Apress eBooks · 2014
The ASP.NET platform defines two important life cycles that underpin the MVC framework. The first is the application life cycle , which tracks the life of a web application from the moment it starts to the moment it is terminated. The second is the request life cycle, which defines the path that an HTTP request follows as it moves through the ASP.NET platform from the point at which the initial request is received until the response is sent. In this chapter, I describe both life cycles and the context objects that the ASP.NET platform uses to describe them and the overall state of the application. Table 3-1 summarizes the chapter. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
