Could I get some confirmations from the community that I'm not going mad, and that the life cycle of a page during post back is in deed in a different order to when the page is initally requested.
If this is the case pointers towards references/articles outlining the order would be greatly appreciated.
(A postback equivalent of the page life cycle image would be great)
The behaviour is slightly different but the order is the same. In this respect "Postback" is essentially a state flag on the request.

(nice image btw)
edit: thinking about it, perhaps it would be helpful to outline your problem? Mentioning postback makes me think it's about databinding perhaps? The article should be helpful though.
