WebDropDown EnableAutoFiltering with AutoPostBack slows down the site
posted

I have a few webdropdown controls on a page with the following settings.

OnSelectionChanged="wdd_OnSelectionChanged"
EnableCustomValues="false"
EnableAutoFiltering="Client"
EnableAutoCompleteFirstMatch="false"
AutoPostBack="true"

When user start typing in the webdropdown, each keyed in letter will cause the system to pause and seems like a postback but it did not execute "wdd_OnSelectionChanged".

How I can improve the performance? Can we write any client script that can check to ensure user selects a valid item in the webdropdown before executing "wdd_OnSelectionChanged"? I need to be able to check which webdropdown control (or webimagebutton) causes the postback to execute different logic.

Many thanks.
