Multiview with loads of views slow to render?
Hi I'm planning to have one main page with a multiview
with several views. Each view contains a Control which is effectively a page. Will this be really slow to render at server or client end.
What method would be better?:confused:
Depends on your views and controls, but I'd expect it to be slow if you're loading lots.
I don't know what your reason is for loading so many controls/"pages", so I can't really say what's better. You should elaborate on what you're doing.
It'll be slow to process on the server, then slow to load for the client. Bad idea. If you have that much stuff to load, make it multiple pages and maintain the data with session state. If not that, then I'd suggest making each "page" its' own panel (ditching a MultiView), and using JavaScript or some such to control the visibility of them, making them behave like you want. Panels are easy to render on the server, minimizing post-backs and getting rid of the MultiView will make the DOM markup smaller, which means it'll load faster, and JS will make the page respond much faster.
