You can attach event handlers to almost any object, from mouse event handlers to click event handlers.

Having asked that question I took a look at the ASP.NET page life cycle and just realised how intrinsic events are in the .NET framework. There are eight basic stages in the ASP.NET page lifecycle:

  1. Page Request
  2. Start
  3. Page Initialization
  4. Load
  5. Validation
  6. Postback Event Handling
  7. Rendering
  8. Unload

Within the page lifecycle there are events raised, which allows you to write code that initialises controls that are dynamically created.
