Pure Client-side population?

[Fooberichu]

I was wondering how it would be possible to use pure client-side population of the scheduler, or if it is possible.  What I envision is changing the view (whether the month, etc), and having a way of firing off a javascript event that shows what the new visible start and end date/time is, then using that to spawn off a webservice call and then iterating through the results and calling the insertAppointment method on the scheduler.

I imagine this would show quite the increase in performance vs using callbacks since the problem with callbacks is that they still have to include the viewstate during that callback. 

My problem is that I'm on a page that sits around 120kb total size so that passes back and forth a few times and things get pretty slow.  It would be so much cleaner to ask for only what I needed to update (the scheduler) so my response object would be 1kb or thereabouts (at most), and the response might be 20kb.

Thoughts?

Hello,

Thank you for your suggestion. You are absolutely correct about the possible gains from using client-side data-binding. In fact we are already working on this feature and we plan to introduce it, alongside a host of other improvements, for the Q3 release.
