Performance Enhancement - Validators/Calendar Extenders/Update Panels

jruddell — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 04:00:00 GMT

Hello,

I am currently working on an insurance application. The home page for this application combines a number of user controls all with a decent amount of validation (Masked Edit, Callout Extenders, Required Field, and Custom Validators) along with dozens of Calendar Extenders, all thrown into various Update Panels. The problem that I am facing is the initial load time of the page. From when the last line of server code is executed, to the time the page finishes loading is over 10 seconds. I know that this is a ridiculous UI design, and short of redoing the whole layout I am out of ideas. From what I understand the ten seconds is all consumed by client scripts. For example: the Page Validator Array, creating behavior for the Masked Edit Controls, etc. As I said my next step is to redesign the page to load these separate user controls dynamically (as opposed to an accordion effect animation to show which ever ones the use wants to see). Does anyone have any ideas of ways to speed up that client side page load time?

Probem with hidden validators inside UpdatePanel

Hi,

I have a form with several validators inside an update panel. Some are hidden on page_load while others are visible. Surprisingly (despite other people's problems with validators inside UpdatePanels) those validators that are initially visible work fine. However, the hidden validators, even if they are later made visible never do anything. I looked at the generated source and found that only the initially-visible validators are ever added to the Page_Validators array. My guess is that with normal postbacks Page_Validators gets refreshed to contain all the validators on the page, whereas with an AJAX update the array does not reflect the asynchronous page changes. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,

Alex Rubinsteyn
