refresh control

[Guest]

Is it possible to only refresh a control such as a datagrid without
refreshing the entire page?

I have 2 datagrids on my page and i only need to refresh 1 of them and if
possible i do not want to refresh the entire page since there is alot of data
on the page.

can that be done or no?

No,
But you can cache either the non-changed control using OutputCaching, or
more simply simple cache the data.

This a quite complicated scenario. One way to do that is by using frames and passing any object you want through Sesssion variables. Using caching would make a solution but it will bind some parts of the page to display the same values for a determined period of time.

Hope this helps

To expand on Alan's comment of caching, you won't only be bound to a determined period of time (ie, you could cache the data in a session, thus binding it to a user as well). You have some additional flexibility in invalidating cache, but I agree that the scenario is complicated.
