Tips to Improve LINQ to SQL Performance

LINQ to SQL is a powerful technology that can do as much harm as good if it is mis-used. Here is how to get more out of your LINQ to SQL efforts. Tip 1: Ditch the Extra Baggage with ObjectTrackingEnabled  LINQ to SQL, by default, behaves like it's going on a every possibility. It carries every provision it thinks it'll ever need, and your application carries that extra weight. If you know you're only going for a short hike, why not tell it to leave the pack at home? That's where the ObjectTrackingEnabled property of the DataContext comes in. By default this property is true , which causes LINQ to SQL to keep track of every change you make to your data in case you want to save those changes later. If you know you're only reading data and won't be changing it, I suggest setting this property to false. Then all of that change-tracking overhead goes away. The performance boost does come at a small price, however. Deferred loading will no longer work. You'll have

How to splitting huge ViewState size

When the ViewState in your page becomes very large it can be a problem since some firewalls and proxies will prevent access to pages containing huge ViewState sizes. For this purpose ASP.NET introduces the ViewState Chunking mechanism. So ASP.NET enables splitting of the ViewState's single hidden field into several using the MaxPageStateFieldLength property in the web.config section. When the MaxPageStateFieldLength property is set to a positive number, the view state sent to the client browser is broken into multiple hidden fields. Setting the MaxPageStateFieldLength property to a negative number (the default) indicates that the view-state field should not be separated into chunks. Setting the MaxPageStateFieldLength to a small number may result in poor performance. Sample ViewState before: <input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE"value="/wEPDwUKLTk2Njk3OTQxNg9kFgICAw9kFgICCQ88KwANAGQYAQUJR3Jp ZFZpZXcxD2dk4sjERFfnDXV/hMFGAL10HQU
