Limiting view state information on AJAX calls

Question

I have an Entry Form and a GridView on the same page. Selecting a row from the GridView populates the TextBoxes in the Entry Form above it with all the entries of the GridVi

Answer 1

Short answer is NO.

Here is a way to free page from clutches of viewstate on ajax calls

• Do not depend on the row click event of the grid view.
• Add a link column to the grid view. Do not use server click event.
• link When user clicks the link make an ajax call by sending the id of the row. You will be using a jQuery to make an ajax get call.
• Once the ajax call returns, take the data of the record and find the form elements, again using jQuery and populate them
