Hi
I have a situtation where i have to display 20 to 30 thousand of records in the grid.  I will be using filter, grouping features of grid.
Until those thousands of reocrds are retrived and binded with grid, there is quite a delay, which anoys the user.

Q1. Is there anything which will give continous feedback on no of records getting added to grid?

Q2. OR some kind of Async filling of Grid

Q3. OR For a moment i thought of paging but since i want to use filter, grouping features, I believe i will need all data in grid. unless there is a an alternative out-of-box way of doing it.

Regards
lee

Hello Lee,

Regarding your questions:

Q1: When there is no data source attached to RadGridView it shows a message which can be customized.

Q2: You should load you data before setting the grid's DataSource property. If you want this to be asynchronous, you can do this in a different thread. 

Q3: The following blog post demonstrates how to implement paging in RadGridView.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
