Q.4 What is 'AutoEventWireup' ?
Its an attribute of 'Page' tag, that has true default value. This means events of page are bind with the event handlers written in code behind.
If we give it value false, then we need to specify code that connect page events to event handlers written in code behind file.
Ex. Connecting Page_load event to its handler

 override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)
    {
        this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);
    }
