Hello,
I am having severe performance problems with the silverlight gridview control with a very basic example.
I simply have a POCO with 7 boolean properties. I have created a list of only 96 of these objects and bound that list to the itemssource of the gridview. The result is a gridview which takes 3-5 seconds to load, followed by unacceptable lag.
Is the gridview really not able to handle a 96 row x 7 column grid without resorting to virtualization?
The code:
Note: Due to a particular requirement, I'm unable to limit the height of the gridview to allow virtualization to kick in. I need all 96 rows to be "visible" at once. I have noticed that doing so does improve performance slightly (though still quite bad in my opinion) but again, it's not an option for me right now.
