Performance Is Slow When You Edit a Data View
When you edit the Data View (also known as Data View Web Part) that contains many list items, performance may be slow. Additionally, performance may decrease as you add more columns to the Data View.
This issue may occur when all the following conditions are true:
To work around this issue, turn on paging for the Data View and display only a few items. After you do so, edit the Data View to make the changes that you want, and then turn on paging for the Data View before you save.
Data Views display data by using
Extensible Style Sheet Language Transformations (XSLTs).
When you use FrontPage to create or edit a data-driven
Web site that is located on a server running Windows
SharePoint Services, you can add Data Views that extract
data from a variety of available data sources, including
.xml files, Web services, SharePoint lists, and OLE
database–compliant databases such as Microsoft SQL
Server, DB2, and Oracle. You can also customize Data
Views to create custom views of your data in WYSIWYG
format by using the Formatting
toolbar or by using the Data View
Details task pane. Windows SharePoint Services
provides the component-based platform required for
FrontPage data-driven functionality.
For more information about working with Data Views in
FrontPage 2003, see FrontPage Help. To do so, on the
Help menu, click
Microsoft Office FrontPage Help.
In the Search for box,
type data view, and then press ENTER to view
the topics returned.
