  • 0

I’m not sure if this is possible in ASP.NET, but here is the problem I have: some of the data lists on my web application are displayed using a GridView; however, because some of these lists can contain a lot of data, they sometime push the page weight up into the several megabyte range due to the ViewState. Since we don’t want to requery the database for this information each time there is a postback on the page I was wondering if there was a way that I could cache the data given to the control on the server and then access it the next time there is a postback.

So is this even possible? If so can someone point me in the direction of more information on how to do this? If it is not possible, does anyone have any suggestions on how I might be able to solve this problem?

  1. You can use a different store for your viewstate besides the page. This Article describes some methods for doing that.

    The gist of this is to override SavePageStateToPersistenceMedium and LoadPageStateFromPersistenceMedium.
