It's the whole mechanism, in combination with the page life cycle, which makes up an important part of ASP.NET webforms.
Basically it's the process of posting the rendered form from the browser to the server, handling the information and events there in a predetermined order (the page life cycle) and resending that handled page back to the page after rendering.

Hi,
It's the whole mechanism, in combination with the page life cycle, which makes up an important part of ASP.NET webforms.
Basically it's the process of posting the rendered form from the browser to the server, handling the information and events there in a predetermined order (the page life cycle) and resending that handled page back to the page after rendering.
To learn more about the process I suggest you take the time to read this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms972976.aspx.
