Menu / Gridview Slowdown Problem

[sean78]

I have page that uses a menu and has four menuitems. In each menuitem there is Gridview. At first my first gridviews run fast. However, after a click on my last one which calls in a lot of data, and click back to one of the other gridviews. they all run at double to triple the time time to display there data from the database. Has anyone run into this problem before.

Thanks in advance,
Sean

I never used a menu in that way, but what you could do is to cache the data if that data is just for display and not being changed.

Also, to track down the problem, add Trace="True" to your page and use Trace.Warn statements before and after each db call.

I found that by setting the EnableViewState to false in the gridview that everything comes up at a nice speed now.
