I don't know and the others responding here probably do know. I just want to say that the name PreRender is anohter way that Microsoft confuses us. I think that rendering cannot be done by ASP in the server; I think that rendering can only be done in the client after the HTML is processed. So if it is confusing for you then I think it is because Microsoft often uses confusing terminology.

Hi James, Prerender event is Raised after the Page object has created all controls that are required in order to render the page, including child controls of composite controls. The Page object raises the PreRender event on the Page object, and then recursively does the same for each child control. The PreRender event of individual controls occurs after the PreRender event of the page. Please do not forget to mark "Accepted Answer".
