I have a combobox in the edititemtemplate of two of my grid cloumns.
The comboboxes are realted combo boxes that is the value of the first combo determines the list in the second combo.

when I select something in my first combo , the second combo takes very long to load.

Is there something I can do to improve the performance.
I am using loadondemand for the combos.

The rest of my columns have a textbox in the edititemtemplate. I tried replacing them with the gridnumericcolumn but that makes no difference to the performance of the combo boxes.

please give any suggestions.

Hi newbie,

Please try a little test. Bind your two comboboxes to some simple data sources (a string array or a couple of items in an enumeration). Test your performance with these data sources and see if you get any speed improvements when loading. If so, this is an indication of slow response time from your data source.

I changed the datasource and provided a static list of 2 items in each of the combobox and still the response time is same.
It's the combo box inside the grid that takes time. if I put those tow combos outside the grid it loads fast.

I have seen this before in an earlier project and didn't reach a conclusion at that time as well , but that was on a page that wasn't used frequently so it didn't bother the users much.

This page is used very heavily and the slow response time is not accetable to the user. Can you suggest something?

Hello newbie,

You might be interested in reviewing the Performance tips and tricks chapter from the online documentation which elaborates on different techniques for optimizing the grid loading time. Additionally, review the sample project from the KB article linked below as you may find it useful:
