Hi.
I use XafCallbackManager like in E3778 . All works fine but after callback part of my page is reloaded. I just want to send some data from frontend to my
controller without any flickering and reloading of page just like AspxCallback.
Refreshing is happenning because of event 'callbackControl_Callback' In 'XafCallbackManager' class.

B u ild:
v2014 vo l 2.4 / 19-Jan -2015

Hello Sergey,
The CheckControlsModification property set to true can affect performance. I want to note that we have removed this property in the latest versions and was
leading to the Toolbar in the nested frame disappears after pressing F5 issue.
