Hi All,

Some code is executed on the drop down change . I am having a lot of functions executed one after another . I was seeing the results in the profiler of my local developer . The total time consumption was 670 msec . There are lots of code executed .But the majority of the time consumption was done by the UpdateUI method that is 570 . In this method elements are enabled and disabled depending on some conditions . Elements are also made visible and invisible depending on some conditions. Should these functionality consume lots of time ? . How can we optimize these codes ? .

Please share some suggestions on this.

Thanks,  
Ashutos

are you talking about your own updateUI method or application.updateUI() ?  
try to avoid calling updateUI a lot, only when you really want to show progess
