.Net Windows Form Event Sequence

The events in the lifecycle of a Form from the time it is launched to the time it is closed are listed below:

• Move: This event occurs when the form is moved. Although by default, when a form is instantiated and launched, the user does not move it, yet this event is triggered before the Load event occurs.
• Load: This event occurs before a form is displayed for the first time.
• VisibleChanged: This event occurs when the Visible property value changes.
• Activated: This event occurs when the form is activated in code or by the user.
• Shown: This event occurs whenever the form is first displayed. 
• Paint: This event occurs when the control is redrawn.
• Deactivate: This event occurs when the form loses focus and is not the active form.
• Closing: This event occurs when the form is closing.
• Closed: This event occurs when the form is being closed.
