If you do set AutoEventWireup to true, Visual Studio will generate code to bind the events and the page framework will automatically call events based on their names. This can result in the same event code being called twice when the page runs. As a consequence, you should always leave AutoEventWireup set to false when working in Visual Studio.

Good answer. Added point autoevent wireup is just a user friendly trick. Performance wise it is not a good one. Better methods assign handlers necessary at the code behind. My 5

Ok, in simple words:
This was introduced in ASP.NET using which your controls and their events are automatically connected and you don't need to write code for the integration in the code behind file.

Thus, it is an automatic way to associate page events and methods.
