Optimising a web page

Hi All,

I have a web page that loads data out of a database, and then displays
it on the screen.

There is a lot of logic behind the displaying, some times fields are
made invisible, and sometimes they are hidden.

The page is slow to load, but I must admit that the database query to
load the page is only small, and will only bring back one row, so I am
not sure the database query is a problem.

I was wondering if you do sometime like this,

this.Guest1.Enabled = false;
this.Guest2.Enabled = false;
this.Guest3.Enabled = false;
this.Guest4.Enabled = false;
this.Guest5.Enabled = false;
this.Guest6.Enabled = false;

or

this.Guest1.Visible = false;
this.Guest2.Enabled = false;
this.Guest3.Enabled = false;
this.Guest4.Enabled = false;
this.Guest5.Enabled = false;
this.Guest6.Enabled = false;

whether the web page tries to update itself every time you change the
enabled or visible status of a control. If so can you turn off the
updating until all the logic is done and then make it redraw only once?

Thanks,

Peter.Bob,
No the web page doesn't update everytime you change a visible or enabled
property and will render to the client only once.

Good Luck
