HttpModule and Page creation?

Question

HTTPModule Event Execution Order?

I'm investigating where does the Page object is initially created in the HttpModule Pipeline :

 HttpModule 

     ===========
    #1  BeginRequest
    #2  AuthenticateRequest
    #3  AuthorizeRequest
    #4  RespolveRequestCache
    #5  AcquireRequestState 
    #6  PreRequestHandnlerExecute

    Handler
    ========
    #7  ProcessRequest

   ... later stages
   ================

and here is my expirament :

I've register each function to execute a specific method :

  void check(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
          Page objPage = (sender as HttpApplication).Context.Handler as Page;
          if (objPage == null) return;
          ...
        }

the first stage where the "safe cast" worked successfully was the AcquireRequestState .

Question :

It did worked for me , but is it a safe place to acquire the page class ?

Also , why isn't it documented anywhere ? I've searched in Msdn in what stage the page class is first accessible , and couldn't find any.

@AlexeiLevenkov did you _read_ my question at all ? I don't see in the duplicated question any mention for _when_ page is crated. Please notice . — Royi Namir, Sep 29 '12 at 08:57
I think second one give you the [link](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb470252.aspx) which says it happens during MapRequestHandler on step 10: "The handler can be a native-code module such as the IIS 7.0 StaticFileModule or a managed-code module such as the PageHandlerFactory " — Alexei Levenkov, Sep 29 '12 at 18:19

It's created between the PostResolveRequestCache and AcquireRequestState

From the top of my head, I think that PostAcquireRequestState would be safer to access the page

Occurs when the request state (for example, session state) that is associated with the current request has been obtained.

yeah you right http://books.google.co.il/books?id=2wg5LCKuChcC&pg=PA189&lpg=PA189&dq=%22for+a+web+form+request,+this+is+the+point+when+the+page+is+compiled%22&source=bl&ots=HjwehFyeIJ&sig=A9Myhuxp7ioo4q2MRAkhCRNFiHM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ALZmUKenEq_S4QTIo4G4Dw&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22for%20a%20web%20form%20request%2C%20this%20is%20the%20point%20when%20the%20page%20is%20compiled%22&f=false. I had to find it in my book. why doesn't msdn state it ? – Royi Namir Sep 29 '12 at 08:50
I remember I read it somewhere in the extensive MSDN documentation, cannot find it though... – Jupaol Sep 29 '12 at 08:54
