Is there a definitve guide/reference on exactly what methods and in what sequence are invoked while processing a request in an ASP.NET MVC pipeline? Much like a sequence diagram, I guess.

    Does this help? http://www.red-gate.com/products/dotnet-development/ants-performance-profiler/entrypage/be-ahead-of-the-game-poster1 (link to a zipped pdf poster) – mark123 Mar 24 '11 at 18:03
  • I removed the "event" stuff to avoid answers that merely point out that MVC is not WebForms. – tvanfosson Mar 24 '11 at 18:03

    @Stefanvds, really? I think desiring a better understanding of when and how things happen in MVC does mean that the person should not be using MVC. – Kirk Woll Mar 24 '11 at 18:04

    @mark123 - that's a nice diagram. – tvanfosson Mar 24 '11 at 18:04
  • @mark123 Thanks, but no. For one, it does not mention action filters. Moreover, it doesn't clarify what exact methods are invoked on every step. – Anton Gogolev Mar 24 '11 at 18:06
  • anton, it think it is better to specify your questions. i can answer the action filter stuff. – Stefanvds Mar 24 '11 at 23:18

This is one of my favorite links to print out and give to MVC learners:
