optimising datagrid output, remove whitespace?

[Tim_Mac]

hi,
is there a way to prevent the datagrid from indenting every line in the
rendered HTML. i have 20Kb of whitespace from a datagrid with 700 rows. i
know paging is recommended but in my situation i need to output the entire
lot.

i have already removed the 450Kb of ViewState by setting
EnableViewState=false.
i can still use sorting and paging btw because i bind the datasource on
every postback.

thanks
tim

Hi Tim,

Based on my understanding, your objective is to reduce the WebForm's output
size by removing whitespaces in the html, right?

I think you could use Response Filter [1] to do this.

Please let me know if you want more information on this. Thank you.
