WinForms event life cycle

Question

Just like there is Page life cycle in web applications, what is the event life cycle for WinForms, especially between Form and User Controls?

Answer 1

According to MSDN:

Startup events of the main form are raised in the following order:

Control.HandleCreated
Control.BindingContextChanged
Form.Load
Control.VisibleChanged
Form.Activated
Form.Shown

Shutdown events of the main form are raised in the following order:

Form.Closing
Form.FormClosing
Form.Closed
Form.FormClosed
Form.Deactivate
Application.ApplicationExit *

I'm aware this is an old question, but I thought I'd include an actual answer since most are mere links.
