Will using Update Panel really give any performance improvements compared to non-AJAX site

Hi,

When one uses the Update Panel to remove the browser refresh then will there be any real performance gains as it yet does a full page postback and goes through the complete page life cycle on the server?

Using Update Panel sure makes the end user feel as though the browser refresh has been removed. But is there anything more to it?

Thanks,

Hi,

if you want to know more about this I would like to recommend you to check out this video that was shot on TechEd 2006 Barcelona:http://www.microsoft.com/emea/msdnshowtime/sessionh.aspx?videoid=331.

It shows the good and the bad of the UpdatePanel and how to tweak it.

Grz, Kris.

hello.

and the obvious answer is that it's not there to increase performance :)
