Yikes! Where is that initialization code in ASPNET 2.0?

[PinoyDotnet]

I am just starting 2.0, so I have this
In ASPNET 1.X there is a method called InitializeCompo nent() which
clearly wires in the Page_Load method to the Load event, like this:

private void InitializeCompo nent()
{
this.Load += new System.EventHan dler(this.Page_ Load);

}

However, in ASPNET 2.0, you will not see this anymore. How am I suppose
to know the Page_Load is the correct method? Do you know where they
are hiding the code?
(2)
You can put the Page_Load method, and it is guaranteed to be called.
However, I noticed that even if I put the wrong signature such as:

void Page_Load()
It is still called anyway. Why is that?

(Note: Load event has this signature: void Load(object,
System.EventArg s )
ASPNET 2.0 gurus please clarify!

Thanks

doesn't the specific load function has the signature "handles Page_Load"
orso tailing behind the function ? (so there's where they make a difference
from the other methods)

There are several methods that are automatically called based upon naming
convention. This list is well documented. This was the way it was in v1.x
as well. The three important ones are:

Page_PreInit
Page_Init
Page_Load

IIRC, there are about ten in total. With Reflector, go check out the code
for System.Web.UI.T emplateControl. HookUpAutomatic HandlersWithNoA ssert.

This too was supported in v1.x. It's just a convenience.
