.NET equivalent of response.buffer

Does anyone know of the ASP.NET equivalent of
response.buffer
and
response.flush?

I have a huge page - 2300+ lines of code-behind so far with
probably at least 50 different sql statements - would be nice
if I could send sections of the page via response.flush on to the browser as they finish processing.

Splitting into multiple,smaller pages is NOT an option.

Any clues welcomed.

I use Response.Flush() with .NET

Would that go in the .aspx page
or in the /aspx.vb code-behind page?

aspx.vb were you want it to happen

I normally would do

Response.Write("The var: " & myVar)
Response.Flush()

Everything is done (or other procs/functions) from the Page_load event. I added response.buffer=true near the first of the page load proc and added numberous response.flush es. Does not seem to make any difference. Does asp.net do everything in the page_load sub before it attempts to render the page?

thanks,
