Performance problem - 900 total nodes w/ 227 root nodes

I have a set of hierarchical data I am binding to a Tree List control. The source data contains 900 total rows with 227 of the being roots resulting in a long original list plus each branch can have sometimes 6 levels.

The tree list is:
1) very slow to load initially
2) very slow to expand children when expand button clicked (postback to server is slow but grid/page painting is instant)
3) focus does not go to the node that was expanded

Here's some info from the trace log

aspx.page	Begin Load	0.000159517480573648	0.000017
	Start OnNeedDataSource	0.000180190499071809	0.000021
	Start database call	0.00020058415245513	0.000020
	Finish database call	6.53778594765536	6.537585
	Start generation of parent ids	6.53783343972488	0.000047
	Finish generation of parent ids	6.56655440845135	0.028721
	Finish OnNeedDataSource	6.56660441480691	0.000050
aspx.page	End Load	14.5043473402346	7.937743

Please advise how i can speed up the performance of the grid. I read posts about Tree View having load on demand features but couldn't find documentation for the same feature for Tree List.

Grid is slow when space in datafield

Hi,

I'm only posting this to help other users on the forum.

I was using the RadGrid and I had one page out of many where calling the DataBind() method would take 30 seconds to run on 192 records. Other pages with double that and more columns wheren't taken that much.

I solved the issue when I found that one of the datafield values was "Task Name" instead of "TaskName". The real datafield name was "TaskName" so the incorrect field name caused it to take more time. As soon as I corrected the datafield value, the grid ran normally and was binding within 2 seconds.

Hope this helps someone. I'm using version 2011.1.519.40

Client-Side API: ClientID, ID... something?

Hello, all

I'm trying to tie into the OnClientKeyPressed event of the RadCombobox (really wished you had an onclientkeyup event, but...). My RadCombobox is in a grid, which makes it difficult to assess its ClientID. I've been scouring through the Client-Side-API, which implies I could just reference the ClientID, or the ID, however both of these are returning "undefined". Since it is an OnKeyPressed event, I could just set a reference to the control, and then do some jquery to tie into the OnKeyUp event on client-side, but this seems "hacky". I wanted to know if there is a more "blessed" solution. My code is as follows:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function getAutocompleteItems(sender, eventArgs) {

alert(sender.ClientID) // returns "undefined"

alert(sender.ID) // returns "undefined"

//var cboItem = new Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxItem();

//cboItem.set_text("Help... somebody!!!");

sender.trackChanges();

var items = sender.get_items()

for (var i = 0; i < items.get_count(); i++) {

if (!items.getItem(i).get_text().toLowerCase().indexOf(sender.get_text().toLowerCase()) == 0) {

items.remove(items.getItem(i));

}

//sender.get_items().add(cboItem);

sender.commitChanges();

}

</script>

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="LineItem" UniqueName="grdColHostIDDef">

<HeaderStyle Width="0%" HorizontalAlign="Center"/>

<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" Width="0%" VerticalAlign="Top" />

<ItemTemplate>

<span class="validatable"><telerik:RadComboBox runat="server" ID="ddlHostValue"

Bug in combobox online Demo

Hi all,

According your demo on usibng web services to load data on demand:

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/combobox/examples/populatingwithdata/autocompletesql/defaultcs.aspx

if I remove the 'static' code from the method in the code behind CS page I get the error :

"The server method has failed' as a popup box.

Here is my code behind:

public const int ItemsPerRequest = 10;

[WebMethod]

public RadComboBoxData GetDealNumbers(RadComboBoxContext context)

{

DataTable data = GetData(context.Text);

RadComboBoxData comboData = new RadComboBoxData();

int itemOffset = context.NumberOfItems;

int endOffset = Math.Min(itemOffset + ItemsPerRequest, data.Rows.Count);

comboData.EndOfItems = endOffset == data.Rows.Count;

List<RadComboBoxItemData> result = new List<RadComboBoxItemData>(endOffset - itemOffset);

for (int i = itemOffset; i < endOffset; i++)

{

RadComboBoxItemData itemData = new RadComboBoxItemData();

itemData.Text = data.Rows[i]["DealNo"].ToString();

itemData.Value = data.Rows[i]["DealNo"].ToString();

result.Add(itemData);

}

comboData.Message = GetStatusMessage(endOffset, data.Rows.Count);

comboData.Items = result.ToArray();

return comboData;

}

public DataTable GetData(string text)

{

SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT new_name as 'DealNo' from new_dealtracking WHERE new_name LIKE @text + '%'", Properties.Settings.Default.MSCRMConnectionString);

adapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@text", text);

DataTable data = new DataTable();

adapter.Fill(data);

return data;

}

private string GetStatusMessage(int offset, int total)

{

if (total <= 0)

return "No matches";

return String.Format("Items <b>1</b>-<b>{0}</b> out of <b>{1}</b>", offset, total);

}

:

My aspx code is:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox4" runat="server" Width="157px" Height="150px"

EmptyMessage="Select a Deal" EnableLoadOnDemand="true" ShowMoreResultsBox="true"

EnableVirtualScrolling="true">

<WebServiceSettings Method="GetDealNumbers" Path="Custom_DealUI.aspx" />

</telerik:RadComboBox>

Why is this the case??

display defalut sorted column

hello,

I want to display one grid column as a sorted column since query result is sorted by that column values.

Well, i dont know the best way to display it but i found following code on the forum.
After applying that code grid appears to be hanged and then none of the column can be sorted on clicking the column header.

Protected Sub rg_Edit_Report_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles rg_Edit_Report.PreRender

Dim SortExp As New GridSortExpression()

SortExp.FieldName = "CASE"

SortExp.SortOrder = GridSortOrder.Ascending

rg_Edit_Report.MasterTableView.SortExpressions.Add(SortExp)

rg_Edit_Report.MasterTableView.Rebind()

End Sub

Can you please suggest me the best way to display the sorted column by default without hampering other features of radGrid ?

RadTreeView checkbox how to check it automatically

Hi,

I have to use VBScript and have to check the checkbox automatically, I mean, do smth like this:
doc.GetElementById("ResetPasswordCheckBox").Checked = True or doc.GetElementById("saveBtn").Click
etc. where doc = ie.document

But when I try to implement these sentences, nothing works:

doc.GetElementById("UserGroupsTree").Nodes(0).Checked
doc.GetElementById("UserGroupsTree").Nodes(1).Selected
doc.GetElementById("UserGroupsTree").Nodes(2).Selected
doc.GetElementById("UserGroupsTree").SelectedNodes.Count
doc.GetElementById("UserGroupsTree").Nodes(0).Text
doc.GetElementById("UserGroupsTree").Nodes(1).Text
doc.GetElementById("UserGroupsTree").Nodes(2).Text
doc.GetElementById("UserGroupsTree").Nodes(0).Value
doc.GetElementById("UserGroupsTree").Nodes(1).Value
doc.GetElementById("UserGroupsTree").Nodes(2).Value

The html code contains smth like this:

<div id="UserGroupsTree"

class="RadTreeView RadTreeView_Default"

style="overflow:auto;height:100%;width:100%;">

</div>

</li>

</ul>

</div>

And I want to set this checkbox to "true" automatically, by means of script, i.e. simulating user clicking

And my script can access user machine only, no access to server side.

I 'm limited to vbscript only (script which runs on client side, not server side)

Perhaps I'm trying to do smth wrong but any help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance,
John

about var tree = $find("<%= RadTreeView1.ClientID %>");

In javascript in order to get the client-side instance of Telerik Object it's possible to use:

var tree = $find("<%= RadTreeView1.ClientID %>"

But how to do the same by means of vbscript?

RadUpload File Lost on Postback

Hello,

I have a RadUpload control on a web form. However, I'm storing a lot of additional information with regard to the file that is being uploaded in additional text boxes, combo boxes, etc. Some of these values cause the page to post back, which normally would be fine because all of the information get's put into ViewState. However, every time the page posts back, the Upload control loses the file that was selected and I have to select the file again.

Is there a way to preserve the value of the file selected between post backs?

Thanks,
Warren
