I have found plenty of examples of paging GridView using asp.net. Does anyone have any examples using WinForms GridView with MS 2005 SQL?

Thanks.

Hello Terry,

Thank you for this question.

We do not support such a feature in RadGridView because in a desktop application there is no need to use paging. In the web one would prefer to keep the broadband as low as possible, however on a desktop there are no such limitations. Could you give us more details on this feature? It is possible that your case is rather specific, so we would like to hear it.

Thanks in advance.

it's not true that in the windows application is not useful, when we have grid with 10.000 or over row to open the windows became very slow. A good thing can be that the control didn't design or load all the row in the grid but the first N-Row and when I scroll that grid load the other row.

Hello Luca Mancuso,

Thank you for this response.

Unfortunately, paging is not in our TODO list for the moment. We will reconsider this if more people request the same feature. In a WinForms application it preferable to use the scrollbars instead of paging.  If you need paging functionality, it is relatively simple to implement it for a custom scenario.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

All the best,
Jack

A much more common usage of anything with 10,000 records would be to return the top 1000 rows, and then allow the user to filter the grid by whatever criteria is appropriate.. loading 10,000 records at a time is excessive way before you even get to the grid :).

That's right, Pawz. We think that functionality similar to the paging technique in web can be realized externally through smart SQL queries. We will consider providing a sample demonstrating paging in RadGridView as a KB article on our site.

the problem is not create the the paging with the query, in this way we lose the powerful of the filter, a good idea is not load all the 10.000 row in the same time, I mean when I load the dataset I have all 10.000 row but the long time is the time that the grid spend to load all the row in the grid. A good things can be that the grid load the first 400 rows ( for example) and when I move with the vertical scroll of the grid it load the next 400 rows. I made the same procedure on vb6 with my controls and it's the best solution.

I can't see it being the best way though - you're still hitting the database for thousands of records that the user never looks at, nor cares about.

I mean, your solution is probably a good way to go, and would work.. it's just the underlying design decision I'd question :).

the fast is that to load a dataset with 10.000 record you spend about 1 sec, but you load in the grid you can spend many many more time. Than if you load a top n element and you want use the filter you lose the possibility to do because you must again to the query, the most long part is the draw the item on screen so if you reduce the number of record the time to wait it's very less. Ok the best solution could be if the dataset has the page implementation but it's more easy implement the "paging" with scroll that create a dataset or datatable with paging

Hi guys,

There are several different approaches when loading large datasets, for example paging (used mostly in ASP.NET datagrids), virtualization, etc.

We are working/researching three different approaches for the RadGridView at the moment. Whether all or some of them will be implemented depends on the approach's metrics and stability. We are still collecting data through tests and time will tell which ones will appear in the next RadGridView version. Nevertheless, we will be glad to hear your opinion on these approaches.

Here they are:
  1. Virtualized grid (columns and rows) - this approach allows you to use the grid as a thin UI layer where all specific data logic could be put outside the control.
     
  2. Asynchronous binding - here a worker thread processes the data in the background, and periodically updates the internal data pool of the grid. Then the grid refreshes just after the required amount or UI artifacts are prepared.
     
  3. Paging the data source - this is the hardest one, in my believe. Not the implementations, but the specific logic needed for grouping/filtering/sorting (as those are processes that are placed after the data is processed internally by the grid).

Your feedback will be appreciated.

 
All the best,

personally I prefere the first. specially because I work with asynchron dataset so I load the data in 1 dataset and after I work "offline" and I don't refresh the data till the moment that I need. So the virtualization for me it's the best way that permit to work in synchron or asynchron way and resolve most of the problem.

I would go with the virtualization as well. Getting the logic of handling the data out of the grid itself and allowing us programmers to handle it all would probably be a more flexible solution than trying to automate some kind of paging solution.

It's probably the least designer-friendly pick of the three, but I'd think that it would bump the grid to the next level in power & flexibility. Just so long as there is documentation :)

I have above 100,000 record. with loading all data into RAM and transmission in network, make performance decrease. for refreshing and loading new data it must repeat.

i think that paging is necessary for winform applications too.

Dears,

Please note that we have 70,000+ records and we are facing major issues in loading them. It takes few seconds to get the records from the database, however. It takes long time trying to render them at the grid.

Finally, we would like to maintain the nice features of GridView e.g. Grouping, etc. Moreover, I believe powerful controls like RadControls for WinForms should be able to handle this number of records.

Don't forget to call radGridView1.GridElement.BeginUpdate(); and EndUpdate();  before and after you've loaded the data into the datasource. Check the examples to see how it's done - that will speed up your grid rendering remarkably.

Hello guys,

Basheer, RadGridView supports row virtualization, so it is capable of loading and showing huge number of records. In other words, you should not experience any issues concerning this. However, if the number of columns is big, you may encounter a performance lag, because currently RadGridView does not support column virtualization. We are working on this feature and it will be implemented in one of our next versions.

As to the second issue, it will be best if you send us a sample project that reproduces the issue. This will allow us to investigate the case further, to address any potential issues and to suggest optimizations if such are possible.

Pawz, radGridView1.GridElement.BeginUpdate() and EndUpdate will indeed boost performance, but only if you are manually inserting numerous rows in RadGridView.


Kind regards,

My vote registered too for in-built paging into the datagrid.
I agree, that a well structured SQL query can return many records very quickly, but actually rendering them to the screen takes many times longer.
It would certainly be a nice to have feature.

Hi Richard Slade,

Thank you for your vote.

Please note that RadGridView uses virtualization for its cells, so not all the data cells are rendered. For additional information, refer to the following help article: Logical vs. Visual Grid Structure.

As to the paging feature, you can easily achieve such behavior using LINQ. For additional information, please refer to the following blog post: Emulating Paging with RadGridView for WinForms and LINQ with 1 million records.

I vote for the paging too.
i have a application that calls the Data from a online server. So it basicly works like the ASP.net but is not a web solution.
therefore i'd like to page the  data in so that the network connections are limited.

id there another way to do this in code maybe?

thanks

Hello randall,

Thank you for your vote.

Please note that RadGridView is a UI control which just represents the data taken from a DataSource in a pleasant and understandable way. However, it is not a duty of RadGridView to take limited amount of data from your database. In case we decide to implement paging, it will be just a visual paging which will display a given number of records on a page. However, this feature will not limit the network connections.

You can refer to my previous post which gives a link to a page implementation with the help of LINQ to SQL.

Best wishes,

Hello,

I ve same scenario, where there are 20,000 rows which are having grouping facility.
Also, one columns is continuiosly updating value like Price of stock, some of the columns have expression using that price of stock.
Now on continuous Refreshing of Price is making Grid unresponsive to user.
Thats why i am seraching for resolving issue.
I found this forum, and some virstual mode function.
Is it possible to use this feature with DataTable as binding source????

Can you please provide sample code shows use of virtual mode in radgridview with Datatable binding?
Or Any other solution???

Hello James,

For more information on how to implement virtual mode for the RadGridView, please take a look at this help article.

But i have to warn you that from what i now, RadGridView does not process filtering, sorting, and grouping in Virtual Mode. Only the UI and expression collections are updated.

You can use FilterChanged, SortChanged, and GroupByChanged events to implement you logic for virtual mode. The events notify for a change in the related expression collections and send updates to RadGridView UI to fire CellValueNeeded event to fill again the displayed cells in the current grid view.

There were some plans to include this in the future versions, but from what i know this hasn't happened yet.

But as the previous replies have stated, the fact of the matter is with Linq you are getting just the data you can see, and from what i understand, this could be a problem in your case because you need to be able to change the values on the entire DataSet, DataTable?

Another easier option is to use a timer, that would perform a refresh every x seconds.

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,

Best Regards,
Emanuel Varga

Hey guys.

I have read this thread and i'd like to vote too.

I strongly believe that paging option in grid is one of the most important

(i mean in real projects, where the data is really big - thousands, maybe millions)

Hope this option will appear soon...

Please take a look at the following sample and let me know what you think. It's just a very basic example of paging using a command bar.

Hello Jaco Van Zyl,

Our forums does not allow for attaching files. One should post a code library article if he/she wants to share his/her solution with the community.

Hello again guys,

Sorry again for the late reply but everything is crazy lately.

I have just submitted the project to the code library with a few enhancements, like support for sorting, filtering.

Please take a look at the attached images for more info.
As soon as the project will be approved i will post a link here.

On a sadder note (maybe), this version will only support IList data sources.

Please feel free to suggest other functionalities or other possible behaviors.

Please note, I am not a telerik user yet, but will be starting using your controls at work in the coming weeks and am reading up on it.

By just glancing at the code, it seems that the entire datasource is loaded and then all the paging etc is done, which I believe will cause the application to crawl if a significant amount of rows are loaded...and there is no need to load 1million rows to be able to use the filtering capabilities.

Instead, if you can handle the filtering manually (ie, no automatic filtering and handle events triggered before filtering is going to take place) and convert that telerik filter conditions into a equivalent SQL query, this can be handled very easily. 

I don't know if the telerik controls have the ability to convert telerik grid filter conditions to SQL server queries, if not, you can probably create a recursive function to create a SQL query from the filter condition (assuming you have access to the filter conditions)...the ability for telerik to automatically convert it to a SQL query would be a plus.

Everything else can be handled by code very easily, as I have done that using another grid by another company and it works really well, as I only the top 500 rows and allow the user paginate through them.  When the grid is filtered, a new query is created and the returned value is then bound to the grid....etc.

Just my 2c

Take Care

Hi Karim,

Thank you for your comments and suggestions. Currently, this functionality is not natively supported by RadGridView. The desired behavior can be achieved by using the custom filtering and converting FilterDescriptors collection to SQL query. 

We will continue researching the possible implementation in Windows Forms context and binding. This feature will be included in one of the next major releases of RadControls for Winforms.

Best wishes,

Hi Stanley,

The paging is more suitable for web applications and it is not a common UI in desktop application. Moreover, this features is covered by a pretty well working Code Library article. Therefore, this feature is postponed in favor of other desired WinForms features that would be hard to be implemented outside the WinForms suite.

Kind regards,
Svett

Man, I'd love to have this functionality.    It would help my current app that needs to display >600,000 rows of data.

The problem with the user supplied solution is that is needs objects that are ILists, and I only have DataTables.  In addition, I imagine that filter boxes would only read from the visible values.  (vs. all the values when creating the Excel like filtering options)

Hello Rob,

I am sorry for the inconvenience caused.

As we mentioned paging is not a common for UI in desktop application. You can change our example to use a DataTable as follows:
private void LoadListDataSource()
       {
          var employees = new List<Employee>();
          int i = 0;
          foreach(DataRow dr in yourTable.Rows)
           {
               Employee emp = new Employee();
               emp.Id = (int)dr["ID"].ToString();
               emp.Name = "Employee " +dr["Name"].ToString();
               employees.Add(emp);
               ++i;
           }

You can refer to this StackOverflow article for more details about convert DataTable to List.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Peter

Hello Everyone,

There is a bug with the Paging Example, when yo try to filtering data using the "Custom Filtering".
It shows a Exception Null Reference in class Main for the GridWithPaging example.
I want to know if there is a solution for this bug.

Hi Alvaro,

Thank you for writing.

The provided information is not enough to determine what causes this. Could you, please, enable the exceptions in your Visual Studio (Debug -> Exceptions -> Managed Exceptions, check the checkbox) in order to debug where exactly the project crashes and let me know what is the result on your side?

Please, have in mind that the filtering is not supported in this mode and can be achieved by using the custom filtering but you should manually convert the FilterDescriptors collection to SQL query.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Peter
