[Solved] RadHiddenFieldPageStateCompression (!) GZip ?

[CSurieux]

Hello,

Using Q1 2010.
I included a browser file on my site but it doesnt seem to work, still very heavy viewstates ?
My file

<browsers>
  <browser refID="Default">
    <controlAdapters>
      <adapter controlType="System.Web.UI.Page" adapterType="Telerik.Web.UI.RadHiddenFieldPageStateCompression" />
    </controlAdapters>
  </browser>
</browsers>

And I read in some threads that using session for viewstate is not perfectly supported when using some modal dialogs, but which ones ? RadWindow, RadUpload ? ???

last point, I have also seen in Chrome console that telerik scripts come without being zipped where I have the default RadScriptManager which should use GZip ???

Thanks
CS

As you are still using the hiddenFieldPersister all your view state will still be serialized to the page's output. So if you have large view state it still be rendered to the page but compressed. You can check the response's size using Fiddler or FireBug if there is any difference with or without compression.
If you want to remove the viewstate from rendering to the page you should use the SessionPersister instead. You can use HistorySize webconfig setting in order to workaround the issues with multiple RadWindows. Check this out for more details ->

Thank you answering,
But nothing seems to be compressed in ViewState, page size is identical with or without the .browser file and page rendering are very slow.
Chrome analyze tools give a very long delay for telerik script loading: the combined and theorically compressed scipts and css arrive a long time after other elements in the page and take long time to load (4,24s)  and even longer to be interpreted by the browser whichever (IE, FF, Chrome).
When I look at Google anylize for r webresource.axd concerning the combined scripts, I get this:

and there are no mention of any compression, but the header link is requesting compression:
 Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd?compress=1&_TSM_CombinedScripts_=%3b%3bTelerik.Web.UI%2c+Version%3d2010.1.309.35%2c+Culture%3dneutral%2c+PublicKeyToken%3d121fae78165ba3d4%3afr%3a30afb63f-e6ac-41db-9851-11879733de0a%3a53e1db5a%3a8d1b0e5d%3a92753c09%3aa9394405%3a1c2121e%3a45abea74%3aed2942d4%3aef4a543%3a25e8e97c%3a6de05185%3ac7f4152e%3a45085116%3a328a824c

But for the webresource.axd concerning the css I get

Content-Encodeing: Gzip.

It seems that the scripts are not encoded and loaded each time (no cache)

It has been getting worse since I used the Q1 2010,

Christian,
Is there any chance that you are behind a proxy, which to strip some info from the request's headers?
Also I have looked at the http://www.addonnice.com/. It seems that you are using other compression modules. Can you provide more information about this? is it IIS6 built-in compression or something different? You may try disable other compression and check if this will make any difference.
