response.flush and AJAX - ASP / Active Server Pages

asleepatdesk

I am still maintaining/developing a classic ASP application. I have
recently built into the app architecture AJAX functionality which
works pretty well.

The issue: a client wants a report built which could potentilly be
huge, up to 5000 rows. My plan is to get the data via an ASP script
and response.flush back a delimited string of data (every 100 rows)
to
be formatted into html by the javascript and displayed in order to
avoid the appearance of application inactivity to the user.
The problem: I cannot seem to get the data flushed back every 100
rows
- it seems to simply do a dump once the entire delimited string is
compiled. I have done flushes the old way without AJAX and it works
fine.
Does anyone know of any limitations when flushing the buffer via
AJAX?
BTW, I am aware of the <tabletag limitation with response.flush so
that is not the problem.

I haven't tested on other browsers but in IE which uses MSXML there is no
way to get at any of the response until all the response has been received.

The only component I know of that may enable this is WinHTTP. However I
wouldn't recommend it. Instead you should consider re-designing to allow
report results to be fetched in chunks with multiple requests.

Response.flush question

by: Luiz Vianna | last post by:

Guys, I need to send some info to my client while I'm processing some stuff. The flow will be something like : -process -response -process -response .... I imagine to use response.flush (as I did on ASP) but it does not work. See my test code, after sending 2 lines on response, I'm simulating a processing time before sending other 2 lines.

Transmit File AND HTML in Response

by: john | last post by:

The standard method to transmit a file from an aspx page to a browser is to stream the file to the response then end the response. The HTML code generated by the aspx page is discarded, and the browser displays or offers to save the binary file instead. I would like to have the browser accept and display the revised HTML code as well as offering to open or save the attached file. This SHOULD be possible using a multipart MIME format -...

Streaming Ajax Response

by: Volte | last post by:

Hey all. Been looking into this for a while now, got some mock ups and whatnot. All works well (as far as the server "streaming" the data, via a sleep and flush method right now just for functionality. Only Ajax doesnt seem to appreciate it. Still caches the buffer and dumps it out at once. I was wondering if you guys had any insights on this. Here is the code. header("Content-type: multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=endofsection");

ASP VBScript fails when response.buffer = True

I have a big asp file that has an error under certain conditions -- totally repeatable. However, it only fails when I set response.buffer = True at the top. WHen I set it False in order to debug it, it works every time! I even set it to True, but did a .Flush just before the error, and the error won't happen. It only happens when response.buffer is True and no .response.flush is issued. The error is a string variable turns-up empty...

Firefox - replacing the whole page by the new one in Ajax response

by: evgenyg | last post by:

Hello ! We have the following situation - when Ajax request is sent what's being returned by the server is usually an XML (which is used for DOM updates) but sometimes it's HTML which is a whole new page that should replace an existing one. I.e when we issue an Ajax request we don't know what will be returned and analyze the response to act accordingly. Now, the way to replace the current document with a new one used to be easy and...

Postback, XML/XSLT, Gridview, Response object question

My environment is ASP.NET 2.0, C# and AJAX. I'm having a problem with 'Button Click' logic which is trying to display a Gridview and then use XML/XSLT to build an Excel file. The following code does not display the Gridview but opens the created file in Excel.If I comment out the ExportDatasetToExcel routine the Gridview displays correctly. I'm assuming the problem is something to do with the Response methods.
