RadRibbonBar Performance Issue

[Craig Booth]

I have created a new windows application c# project, and all I have done is to drag a RadRibbonBar control onto the default form. The only other thing I have done is to add the following debug statements into the form method:

            Debug.WriteLine(DateTime.Now);

            InitializeComponent();

            Debug.WriteLine(DateTime.Now);

When I run the project it takes 8 seconds to show the form - a form with a standard MS toolbar is instantaneous.

System is as follows:

Windows 7 Ultimate x 64

Visual Studio 8 SP1

AMD Phenom II 965

Anyone offer any advice?

Thanks.

Hi Craig,

Thanks for contacting us and for reporting this issue. Could you please change the target platform of your project from 'Any CPU' to x86, rebuild it, and see whether this will improve the performance of your application. We have observed similar performance issues before and from our estimations, I can say that they are connected with the x64 JIT compiler of .NET Framework, not with our RadRibbonBar control in particular.

Thanks for your time. I look forward to receiving further details on your case.

Kind regards,
Deyan
