Not applicable.

Property Value

When AutoEventWireup is true, ASP.NET does not require events to specify event handlers like Page_Load or Page_Init. This means that the Handles keyword in Visual Basic is not required in the server script in the Web Form page.

By default, when the ASP.NET Web application is created in Visual Studio, the value of the AutoEventWireup attribute is set to false in the .aspx page or .ascx control, and event handlers are not automatically created. Do not set AutoEventWireup to true if performance is a key consideration.

The following code example shows how to use the AutoEventWireup property.

// Get the current AutoEventWireup property value.
Console.WriteLine(
    "Current AutoEventWireup value: '{0}'",
    pagesSection.AutoEventWireup);

// Set the AutoEventWireup property to false.
pagesSection.AutoEventWireup = false;
