Database performance

When working on data intesive websites, database speed and performance is very important.

A few helpful pages/articles I found in dealing with the issue address the topics of SQL stored procedures and page caching:

ASP.NET UpdatePanel

I love the new ASP.NET UpdatePanel. It is very easy to use and implement into your site. I recently used the UpdatePanel when drop-down lists needed to post back to the server to populate the next drop-down list. It made the process very smooth and fluid, and nice not to have the screen flashing back at you.

You can download ASP.NET Ajax at:
http://ajax.asp.net/ to install and begin creating Ajax enabled websites in Visual Studio.

Some good tutorials to start out using the UpdatePanel are at:
