The points stated in the post are not valid. The Page_Load is not evil. It is what you can do with it that is, which also is what the author means. However, that doesn't make it evil. That's like saying constructors are evil because you can write 300 lines of code in them.

I agree. Page_Load is not evil, you just have to know what's going on behind the scenes. Just as in the rest of ASP.NET, for that matter.

Page_Load is not evil ... it may be commonly misunderstood, but not evil.

Page_Load is eveil. Use OnLoad instead :-). I don't like the concept of something being done automatically just because it has some special name!
