    <p>I currently have a form where the user must check off checkboxes in a checkbox list before clicking a save button which saves their selections to the database. The list of values is retrieved from the database and bound to the checkbox list. So it's basically a dynamic list of checkboxes.</p> <p>I'd like to change this so that a user's selection is immediately and automatically saved to the database once the user checks off a checkbox.</p> <p>I thought this could just be done using an updatepanel, datalist, and checkboxes.</p> <p>Example:</p> <pre><code>&lt;asp:UpdatePanel ID="upnlServices" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional"&gt; &lt;ContentTemplate&gt; &lt;asp:DataList ID="dlistAnimals" runat="server"&gt; &lt;ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;asp:CheckBox ID="chkAnimal" AutoPostBack="true" OnCheckedChanged="animal_click" runat="server" /&gt; &lt;asp:Label ID="lblAnimal" AssociatedControlID="chkAnimal" runat="server"&lt;%#Eval("Name")%&gt;&lt;/asp:Label&gt; &lt;/ItemTemplate&gt; &lt;/asp:DataList&gt; &lt;/ContentTemplate&gt; &lt;/asp:UpdatePanel&gt; </code></pre> <p>"animal_click" is a function in the code-behind that will add or delete the value from the database using a stored procedure. If the selection was previous selected, it is removed but if the selection does not exist in the database, it is simply added.</p> <p>This all works on my local machine but when I put it on a remote server, the form seems slow. The user will quickly check off multiple checkboxes but not all the selections were saved to the database. It gives the impression that the server isn't able to keep up with the user's actions quickly enough.</p> <p>I'm not exactly sure why this is the case. If there's a better more efficient way of doing this, I'd be interested in suggestions.</p>

    1. COHave you tried other controls like Repeater? Or try this approach: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tom/archive/2008/09/15/slow-performance-of-a-gridview-inside-an-updatepanel.aspx

    2. COI did look at repeaters before deciding to use a datagrid. The reason behind the datagrid was just because it was easier to implement.

    3. COIn your sample you've used a DataList instead of a DataGrid. I asked you to try another control because a DataList does not use ViewState to maintain values across postbacks. This could possibly cause side-effects when used within AsyncPostbacks.

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.
