By nature of the HTTP protocol, ASP.NET web applications are always disconnected so you may need to elaborate a little on what you mean by disconnected and connected architectures? Do you mean dis/connected data models?

Well... consider this: as I previously stated, the nature of a web application is to be disconnected. So you are inherently using a disconnected data architecture. However, that does not preclude you from using a connected data architecture underneath, you just have to remember that the life of the connection corresponds to the life of the page hit which is very short.

It is generally accepted that "connected" data is faster because of the internal optimizations provided by the data provider. In my web application architectures, I typically get data using data readers. These are forward only and very fast. I populate custom classes with them and consume those classes in the application. I seldom use data tables or data adapters because of the abstraction of data into class models.

One rule of thumb to go by is: get only the data you need when you need it.

 Thanks once again.so i got the concept.actually i wanted my application to work like ajax but without using ajax.in Ajax when the page is refreshed only the values get changed instead of loading whole page again. do you know how to do such thing.

Any concept or idea is most welcome.

If you are using 2.0 you can use the ClientCallBack feature which is similiar to AJAX although it doesn't require you to download the AJAX Framework.

This article describes the process farily well:

Google has plenty more resources:

Jitesh,

Do you have a compelling reason NOT to use Ajax?
