Improve Document Loading Speeds with Long Polling

May 13, 2024

TX Text Control .NET Server for ASP.NET 32.0 SP3 implements real-time server push for newly generated pages, accelerating client-side loading.

TX Text Control .NET Server for ASP.NET is a server-side component that equips your web applications with a powerful, MS Word-compatible document editor. This allows you to develop applications that generate and edit various document formats (RTF, DOCX, PDF, etc.) on the fly, using data from databases or files. It also boasts features like PDF generation and a browser-based editor with a familiar MS Word-inspired interface, ultimately enhancing the document processing capabilities of your ASP.NET web applications.

TX Text Control .NET Server's Document Viewer now utilizes long polling for asynchronous document loading. Instead of waiting for the entire document to be processed, the server starts sending generated pages as a stream. Using JavaScript, the client continuously consumes this stream, displaying each page as it arrives. Long polling eliminates the wait time typically associated with loading large documents, enhancing overall user satisfaction.
