Glossary Item Box

When you load data for each page request, you are not maintaining state, rather, you are re-creating each page as it is requested. Load data for every page request when there is a large data set and you must minimize the use of server resources.

To load data for every page request, set the IsTrackingViewState property for the active sheet to False.

Advantages and Disadvantages

The advantages of loading data for every page request are:

The disadvantages of loading data for every page request are:

Using Code

Load data each time the page is loaded.

Example 1

The following sample code illustrates loading data for every page request.

Example 2

The following sample code illustrates loading data for every page request. This example requires more coding, but provides a more efficient application. To further speed up page loading, you can use the "where" clause in the SQL statements to retrieve one page of records so that database server does not have to return a large data set.
