The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How to preserve large data on postback without loading it again

Asked by luefher in Programming for ASP.NET, Microsoft Visual C#.Net, Visual Studio

Tags: c#, .net, ajax, large data, preserve, postback

Hello,

I have a page with a table in UpdatePanel that is dynamically populated with a large amount of data, takes some time to retrieve. The table has LinkButtons in it to drill-down on that data, which is then displayed in a hide/show div. Problem is, since it's a postback, the original data has to be retrieved again - I'm trying to avoid this since it takes time but it's the same data that was retrieved before postback - I just want to retrieve the drilled-down data and show it. If I put the retrieval of initial data in (!IsPostBack), then it, of course is not retrieved on postback and is not showed. Is there some kind of a workaround?
Thanks!
