Why is Page_Load not firing after coming back from another page using ASP.NET - ergo epic embarrassment :)

Question

Let\'s say I have two pages on the same ASP.NET C# WebSite.

• Page1.aspx does things in the Page_Load event
• I navigate to Page2.aspx using the menu

Answer 1

When you navigate to a page using the Back button, the page is reloaded from memory, and no request is sent to the server.

You can confirm this using Fiddler.

I'm not sure if this is true in all browsers.
