ASP.net request lifecycle


  • IIS gets the request
  • Looks up a script map extension and maps to aspnet_isapi.dll
  • Code hits the worker process (aspnet_wp.exe in IIS5 or w3wp.exe in IIS6)
  • .NET runtime is loaded
  • IsapiRuntime.ProcessRequest() called by non-managed code
  • IsapiWorkerRequest created once per request
  • HttpRuntime.ProcessRequest() called with Worker Request
  • HttpContext Object created by passing Worker Request as input
  • HttpApplication.GetApplicationInstance() called with Context to retrieve instance from pool
  • HttpApplication.Init() called to start pipeline event sequence and hook up modules and handlers
  • HttpApplicaton.ProcessRequest called to start processing
  • Pipeline events fire
  • Handlers are called and ProcessRequest method are fired
  • Control returns to pipeline and post request events fire

I think that we can break down the process of programming info three steps: Step 1: Analyse the problem you want to write a program for and create a model of the problem which can be implemented as a program. This step has do be done no matter which programming language you use for implementation. It requires both domain specific knowledge as implementation specific knowledge. It also requires knowledge how people interact with computers, about which things are solvable ...

    Indian's Blogging After a long time, I though I will drop in some words of my own. I am moving to virginia and this is when I had few days without working/going at Nordborg lab. While surfing I found many interesting things. Few of them are pointed out as follows: 1) A lot has happened to Indian culture since the time I left it. A lot has happened on IT front too.
