[Mono-list] Porting ASP.NET app from IIS to XSP

[Joe Audette]

I don't mean to sound harsh or critical but whether
under IIS or xsp I would not ever recommend populating
a dropdown list with 4000 items. That is ridiculous
from a usability point of view. The user should not
ever have to scroll through 4000 itmes to find the one
they are looking for.

I would look into implementing an ajax type solution
that populates the dropdown with just a few items at a
time based on what the user keys.

I have implemented a solution like this in my
mojoportal project. I recently split that out of the
main project into mojoPortal.Web.Controls.dll and the
control is called SmartCombo or SmartDropDown I can't
remember off hand. You are welcome to borrow this code
for your needs as it is open source. To get it you
would need to get the mojoportal source code from svn
per instructions on the download page on
http://www.mojoportal.com/download

Hope it helps,

Joe
