I have been asked to design & develop a page in asp.net which contains 7 tabs.Each table contains 2 Editable gridview & clicking on gridview cell should open a popup & that popup will open a new popup ( I would say nested popup). even when i switch from one tab to another. It should hold the griddata & whenever user will finish all the operations he/she will click on save button which will save all the data contained in the tabs.
The page is really too too too heavy. It will definitely take a long time to load as it contains gridview operations , popup related jobs, tab data & tab switching.
I am finding the best way i can achieve this with an acceptable speed of operation. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

    With all of the web-based controls (tabs, grids, anything that uses an intensive postback model) included in ASP.NET, plus those made by 3rd party vendors (Telerik, Infragistics, and the like), it is possible to make very big web pages. And I’ve made more than a few in my days. Tabs. Multiple update panels. Drop-downs created from dozens of sources. I have decided to remember one simple fact:

    WEB_APPLICATION != CLIENT_SERVER

    Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. If changing the UI is not an option, keep in mind the following

    Look into paging your grid views. Limiting the amount of data rendered on the page will speed up the page.

    You can look at caching operations. If you have access to modern browsers, you can make use of isolated local storage on the client. This will be even faster than caching on the server, but you’re limited to the really new stuff.

    Become a big friend of partial page loads and AJAX operations. You can still build a bigger UI, but keep the actual data operations small and focused. Data-driven drop downs on a hidden tab can be loaded after the visible components of the page have loaded.

    I’ve made a lot of customers very happy because I keep my UI’s incredibly fast, and they never break. I keep them fast by keeping them focused. A page is built for a single task. Design for simplicity into UI. You will not be sorry.
