Refresh/Redraw enhancements in IE/ASP.NET

[Tom Kaminski [MVP]]

In many of the presentations I've seen about ASP.NET there was talk about
how on postbacks only the data that has changed gets redrawn in the browser.
I'm looking for documentation on this feature so I can share it with my
development staff but so far have been unable to find anything that
discusses it. Do you know what I'm talking about and if so, where I can
find online documentation?

TIA!

As far as I know that is not true. I don't think ASP.NET can have any sort
of effect on how the browser renders the HTML it receives.

Not entirely sure what it is but I have read mention of a feature called
SmartNavigation that helps stop the page 'flashing' when you reload/post.
<%@ Page Language="vb" SmartNavigation=true AutoEventWireup...etc.

Not sure if this is exactly what you were after though - I haven't used it
yet myself.
