Since the cascading dropdown extender loads all dropdowns with a webservice, is it faster to load all dropdowns with this even if cascading is not needed?
In other words, is it faster to load a large (100+) dropdown with the cascading dropdown extender than doing it on the page load?
Hi Red_bull_n_vodka,

Actually, CascadingDropDown will call its WebService as soon as it is initialized. So I don't think it will be prominent faster in your situation. To speed up the response times , I think you should pay more attention to WebService rather than the client implementation.For example, cache and connection pool etc.
I hope this help.
Best regards,
