[Solved] Performance Issue on RadGridView

[Alex]

We are finding the performance a little slow on the RadGridView as compared to the DataGrid in the Silverlight Toolkit.

This is particularly noticable on sorting (generally 1s to re-sort a column) and scrolling (again clicking lower in the scrollbar takes 1s to update display).

These times were recorded on the Telerik site http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#GridView/Totals

The Silverlight Toolkit DataGrid performs both operations in well under a second and seems much more responsive to users.

We are keen to use the Telerik libary owing to its extra functionality, i.e. aggregates, group panel, filer controls, etc. but the speed issue is holding us back at the moment.

Hi Alex,

These performance problems will be resolved with our Q3 release where we will introduce powerful UI virtualization with container recycling, horizontal (columns) virtualization, etc.

Thanks - do you have an e.t.a. for the Q3 release?

We will at some stage need to make a technology decision on whether to use the Silverlight toolkit grid or the Telerik GridView and the only thing holding us up on the latter is the performance.
