Where is Init() & InitializeComponent()?

[john_c]

When I add a new aspx page to my project, I don't see Init() or
InitializeComponent() in any of the page's CS files. Where are the
methods stored?

Thanks.

They are contained in a #region in your form's code behind .cs file annotated
"Web Form Designer generated code" which by default is minimized in Visual
Studio. Just click the plus sign to the left of "Web Form Designer generated
code" to expand the region and see the code.

these are no longer required in asp.net 2.0.

John and Jim,

MST changed default designing/compilation model in ASP.NET 2.0. By default
AutoEventWireup is set to true, which instructs compiler to automatically
attach event handlers from the code behind/beside file using naming
convention (for the page events) i.e.
protected void Page_Load(...)
{
}
is automatically attached behind the scenes:
this.Load += new EventHandler(this.Page_Load)

or controls declarative properties:

<asp:GridView runat="server" id="gv" OnRowDataBound="myeventhandlername"/>
is resolved by compiler as:
gv.RowDataBound += new RowDataBoundEventHandler(this.myeventhandlername);

Hope this helps

I am using asp.net 2.0. If I set AutoEventWireUp=false, do I need to
wireup Init() in the page or control constructor?

if I only have perhaps 3 - 5 events, is it better to keep
AutoEventWireUp=false since I don't need everything else it will be
doing? Is there a demarcation point or something to know when it
should be used? I'm only mentioning it because of performance.

Thanks.
