I would say that an ASP.NET app that makes more round trips to the server than the equivalent classic ASP or CGI app is improperly designed. Round trips should only me made to the server when data is required from the server. Round trips can be minimized by minimizing the amount of auto postbacks used by the controls. Processing and validation that can be performed on the client can and should still be performed there. -- Steve Johnson 3t Systems You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
