#44 Asynchronous Loading of Anthem Controls

[Anonymous]

Is that possible to specify that Anthem controls to
be loaded asynchronously through ajax?

For example If I put 10 gridview controls on my page
it would take forever to load the page. I don't want
to wait, let the page open instantly, and then all
the controls will be loaded asynchronously through
ajax.

Thanks.

I meant the initial loading.

That's a great idea. Anthem is not designed that way, but
you can probably do that using a little custom scripting.

The normal ASP/Anthem pattern is to perform a databind in
the first PageLoad. For example,

If !IsPostBack Then BindData()

What you could do is skip the data bind in the PageLoad
handler. Instead add a client script that calls
Anthem_InvokePageMethod and use the method to perform the
data bind. For example,

Page.RegisterStartupScript("Anthem_InvokePageScript
('LoadGrid', 'grid1')")
Page.RegisterStartupScript("Anthem_InvokePageScript
('LoadGrid', 'grid2')")

[note: the syntax is wrong...this is just an example]

Then the LoadGrid method would load the grids.
