[RESOLVED] [2005] Page_Load event

is the Page_Load event run at the server or the client?

I don't want to make database calls from the client to fill my drop down list items.

If this is run at the client, where would I make my database calls?

Also is there somewhere I can find a good guide to what parts of an asp.net page are run where, since some things don't say it explicitly?

it's all at the server

as wy125 says all asp.net is processed on the server, otherwise everyone viewing your website would need the .net framework installed.

Here's an article explaining the difference between server side and client side development
