OnTheFly PostBack Architecture

Loads Additional Data OnTheFly

Through the OnTheFly architecture, WebCombo loads additional data on-the-fly without performing full postback. WebCombo adds additional data without full page rendering which dramatically saves server bandwidth. The data which has been loaded by the combo previously will not be re-rendered as the additional data is loaded dynamically.

Render a Subset of Data When Invoked


Imagine that there are 10,000 data to be loaded. A standard ASP.NET dropdownlist will only render all the data at a page load, as a result it takes a long time to load.


In the page load, WebCombo does not render the whole list of data in a page. When it is activated or clicked at the first time, WebCombo will then dynamically load a subset of data without retrieving the whole 10,000 data.


Benefit of OnTheFly PostBack Feature


OnTheFly postback feature allows the implemented controls to interact with server and sends back only necessary UI elements, without the need to send the whole page's elements.
This dramatically saves the server's resources, time and bandwidth needed to perform server interaction.
The summary of the benefits are:
.Rich and smoother user interactions.
.Improves performance up to 50%.
.Minimized server workload.
.Increases end users productivity.
.True server-events processing.
.Faster rendering and realtime response.
