Performance times for data-load

[Olav Botterli]

Hi,

I'm using RadGridView for many applications here, we are using this mostly for reporting and it works very good!

But i'm not satifisfed by the performance of the data-load. (I'm using RadControls, Q3 2008 SP1)

I'm loading the grid (with default properties) from a DataTable and these are the loading times for a grid with 12 columns:

37 rows - 843 ms
173 rows - 906 ms
319 rows - 1 138 ms

Loading with 5 columns:

35 rows - 423 ms
173 rows - 468 ms
319 rows - 530 ms


Is this to be expected ? Can I set some properties to increase the performance for this ? Is there some kind of 'EnableTurboLoad' property available ? :-)

Hi Olav Botterli,

Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, there is no such magical property. When it comes to numbers, the measurements show that our grid is optimized for rows (e.g. column numbers is more important factor in decreasing RadGridView performance than rows). Because we consider performance very important, we will try to make improvements in this field for our future releases.

Hi,

I must also point out that the performance numbers I gave you is while debugging the application in Visual Studio, this impact performance. So in a real-world situation the application runs faster...
....
But not fast enough ;-)

We all here look forward to improvements in the future!
