Web Part Life Cycle

Web Part Life Cycle 

• OnInit
• LoadViewState
• CreateChildControl
• Onload
• usergenerated Event
• onpreRender
• RenderControl
• SaveViewState
• Dispose
• Unload

OnInit 

 Configuration values set using WebBrowsable properties 

LoadViewState – 

The view state of the web part is populated over here.'

CreateChildControls –

All the controls specified are created and added to controls collection. When the page is being rendered for the first time the method generally occurs after the OnLoad() event. In case of postback, it is called before the OnLoad() event. We can make use of EnsureChildControls() - It checks to see if the CreateChildControls method has yet been called, and if it has not, calls it.

OnLoad

User Generated Event 

for e.g. button click on the web part.

OnPreRender 

Here we can change any of the web part properties before the control output is

drawn.

RenderContents 

 Html Output is generated.

SaveViewState 

 View state of the web part is serialized and saved.

Dispose

UnLoad.

Sharepoint Architecture

We have 3 layer architecture

WFE <Front End Web Server> 
2. Application Layer 
3. Data base Layer 


1. WFE 

share point Installed. 
12-hive structure & virtual drives. 
IIS web sites are hosted. 
servers are clustered on & are in synch. 

2. Application Layer

Share Point provides different services. 
This layer provides those services, like my site hosting, user profile & searching etc. 
One server can be dedicated to particular service depend upon the scalability. 

3. Data Base Layer 

Here we have SQL server installed. 
Here content DB is hosted. 
For moss 2007, it is SQL server 2005. For Share Point 2010, it is SQL server 2008. 
Here servers are clustered on & are in synch. 

* Every layer has load balancer for control the traffic.
