Hi, IsPostBack is a property and its not a method. which returns boolean value. It checks whether the page is postedback or not. IsPostBack is a Boolean property of a page when is set (=true) when a page is first loaded. Thus, the first time that the page loads the IsPostBack flag is false and for subsequent PostBacks, it is true. An important point to be noted here is that each time a PostBack occurs, the entire page including the Page_Load is 'posted back' and executed. Thus a very common programming practice is that whenever some part of the code is to be executed just the first time a page loads, it is checked against the IsPostBack flag.

IsPostBack property tells that the page is rendered first time or it is posted back by some server control. If it returns true, it means it is posted back by some control like button click.
