What is AutoEventWireup? 1

[karma12]

When I created zipsearch.aspx file, the following
code was generated:
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="zipsearch.aspx.vb" Inherits="ZipcodeDB.zipsearch"%>

What is AutoEventWireup? - what is the effect is set to true or false?

Thanks

When you set the value of the AutoEventWireup attribute to true, the ASP.NET runtime does not require events to specify event handlers like Page_Load or Page_Init. This means that the Handles keyword in Visual Basic .NET does not have to be used in the server script in the Web Form.

By default, when the ASP.NET Web Application is created in Visual Studio .NET, the value of the AutoEventWireup attribute is set to false in the .aspx page and event handlers are automatically created. This article describes the default settings of the AutoEventWireup attribute and lists some helpful code.
