    <p>I am working on a ASP.NET project with C# and Sql Server 2008.</p> <p>I have three tables:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/2bGzV.png" alt="Users"> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/4OXWK.png" alt="DataFields"> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/tH8nI.png" alt="DataField Values"></p> <p>Each user has a specific value for each data field, and this value is stored in the DataFieldsValues.</p> <p>Now I want to display a report that looks like this:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/e76bV.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>I have created the objects <code>User</code>, and <code>DataField</code>. In the DataField object, there is the Method <code>string GetValue(User user)</code>, in which I get the value of a field for a certain user.</p> <p>Then I have the list of Users <code>List&lt;User&gt; users</code> and the list of DataFields <code>List&lt;DataField&gt; fields</code> and I do the following:</p> <pre><code>string html = string.Empty; html += "&lt;table&gt;"; html += "&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Username&lt;/th&gt;"; foreach (DataField f in fields) { html += "&lt;th&gt;" + f.Name + "&lt;/th&gt;"; } html += "&lt;/tr&gt;" foreach (User u in users) { html += "&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;" + u.Username + "&lt;/td&gt;" foreach (DataField f in fields) { html += "&lt;td&gt;" + f.GetValue(u) + "&lt;/td&gt;"; } html += "&lt;/tr&gt;" } Response.Write(html); </code></pre> <p>This works fine, but it is <strong>extremely</strong> slow, and I am talking about 20 users and 10 data fields. Is there any better way in terms of performance to achieve this? </p> <p>EDIT: For each parameter inside the classes, I retrieve the value using the following method:</p> <pre><code>public static string GetDataFromDB(string query) { string return_value = string.Empty; SqlConnection sql_conn; sql_conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["XXXX"].ToString()); sql_conn.Open(); SqlCommand com = new SqlCommand(query, sql_conn); //if (com.ExecuteScalar() != null) try { return_value = com.ExecuteScalar().ToString(); } catch (Exception x) { } sql_conn.Close(); return return_value; } </code></pre> <p>For instance:</p> <pre><code>public User(int _Id) { this.Id = _Id this.Username = DBAccess.GetDataFromDB("select Username from Users where Id=" + this.Id) //... } </code></pre>

    3. COi hope your not opening/closing your connections inside the loops, because that will drastically slowdown the process of data-retrieval

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
