Where in the page life cycle is the master page's load event (not OnLoad nor Page_Load)?

Question

My understanding of the page life cycle is as follows:

1. Page Page_PreInit

2. MasterPage Page_Init

3. Page Page_Init

4. Page Page_InitComplete

5. Page Page_PreLoad

6. Page Page_Load

7. MasterPage Page_Load

8. Page_LoadComplete

9. Page_PreRender

10. MasterPage Page_PreRender

11. Page Page_PreRenderComplete

12. Page Page_SaveStateComplete

13. MasterPage Page_Unload

14. Page Page_Unload

Given the above, where does the MasterPage's Load event fire? Google isn't helping as quite a lot of people say Load when talking about the OnLoad event.

Answer 1

Master Page load event is between Content page Load event and Master page controls Load event.

Check the MSDN for details

Although both Init and Load recursively occur on each control, they happen in reverse order. The Init event (and also the Unload event) for each child control occur before the corresponding event is raised for its container (bottom-up). However the Load event for a container occurs before the Load events for its child controls (top-down). Master pages behave like child controls on a page: the master page Init event occurs before the page Init and Load events, and the master page Load event occurs after the page Init and Load events.
