Grid Loading and Filtering Very Slow... Help!

[Scott Smith]

I have a grid setup for managing users of a website. If you come to the page as an admin, the grid loads a couple thousand records and because of this, takes a couple minutes for the grid to load and is even slower when you try to filter on one of the columns. How can I prevent this? I need to do something like load only the current page of users being shown while still maintaining paging and filtering abilities. Is this something that can be done easily? If not, any suggestions on how to code this?

Hi Scott,

Have you considered taking advantage of the custom paging feature of our web grid? Thus only a subset of records visible on the rendered page will be fetched from the underlying source.

I have but for some reason, I can't get the NeedDataSource event to fire. I've tried everything I can and it won't hit the NeedDataSource event on the page load, and thus it doesn't load the grid. I can't figure out why.

Hello Scott,

Can you share the whole page code behind for further check?
