What I have found instead is that whenever Firebug encounters a large viewstate, it completely cho...

My pages are really just ascx controls that get loaded into a plac...

ASP.NET DataTable output problem

I can't for the life of me work out what I am doing wrong here, despite much searching on SO/Google. Basically I have a simple DataTable which is held in ViewState and adjusted during postbacks.
