"Optimizing Web Applications with AJAX and Spread for Web Forms" is the title of this new whitepaper for ASP.NET developers. Integrating AJAX into your application may solve many problems and give your users the interactivity and speed they expect. This brief overview explores how to use AJAX in a spreadsheet application and explores the benefits and limitations of this new programming technology.
Many developers are being asked to create ever more data intensive Web front ends and
applications. As developers begin to realize the diverse ways in which Web technologies
can be used for communicating and collaborating, technologies such as AJAX will become
more prevalent. AJAX is really very simple and powerful. Integrating AJAX into your next
application may solve many problems and give your users the interactivity and speed they
are beginning to expect when looking for information on the Web. This is a brief overview
of AJAX and how you can use it, in a spreadsheet application that has Spread, to expand
the possibilities and show your customers that you have the power to solve some of their
problems with ease. The use of AJAX in a Web Forms application provides many benefits
and improvements. There are also limitations to its use and there are applications in
which it makes more sense than others. FarPoint recommends understanding AJAX
before using it in spreadsheet application development with Spread for Web Forms.
Spreadsheets can be big, and spreadsheet applications can be some of the most data
intensive applications with which to work. They can contain a lot of data and require
calculations. With components such as Spread for Web Forms, spreadsheet applications
can bind to databases with millions of cells of data that must be made available to end
For a web application, traditional ways of serving up pages can impose severe restrictions
on a spreadsheet application’s performance when it is bound to a large data set. Paging
moving around the sheet by the end user can demand system resource typically easily
