Whenever I retrieve a new record on my WebForm, all of the dropdown boxes
blink, they disappear for a second or two then reappear.  The rest of the
controls (mostly textboxes) are steady. I just put a button on the form, and
it is blinking now.  Can anyone tell me how to keep the controls steady?
Thanks i advance for any help.

SmartNavigation is the simplest and most common solution for the postback
ugliness.
Here's more information:

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reply.
I have always used  Smart Navigation set to true in the page directive, and
now I put it in the Page_Load
It does make a difference
But the Dropdown and the Buttons continue to blink.
Is there anything else??

I hope you've been doing well Walter.

The alternatives to SmartNavigation get significantly more complicated.
You could use XMLHTTP to allow your controls to make their own calls back to
the server without have to refresh the whole page:

This kind of thing gets easier in ASP.NET 2.0 if you can wait until then:
