Responsiveness of using RadAjaxManager

[STEVEN]

Hi,
Would like to understand more on the workings of using RadAjaxManager.
Does it still perform a full postback page lifecycle, meaning that the actual response time using RadAjaxManager or a full postback is the same?

The only difference is the perceived response time because only the affected control is updated?

Hello Steven,

Thank you for contacting us.

Indeed, each time you ajaxify a control using the AjaxManager all the page life cycle is going to be fired.
Upon the response(entire response) arrival, only the specified control gets updated.

If you seek for some ways to improve the performance, you can check out the following article:

Hope this helps.
