Prevent ObjectDataSource/GridView from DataBinding

[richardl]

I am creating an interface that has a number of ObjectDataSources and
GridViews in UpdatePanels.

The data being sent to the gridviews in quite large (search results,
etc..) and therefore each gridview load can take 3 or 4 seconds.

Therefore, I have set the UpdatePanels mode to be conditional, as I
only want to refresh certain parts of the page for different events.

However, what I am noticing is that even though I am only electing to
update them individually the actually ALL DataBind everytime there is
a postback for ANY of them, which is making the pageload very slow.

Is there any was to make the DataBind for each ObjectDataSource
conditional?

In onLoad, only use databind if not IsPostBack

Enable Viewstate on them...
