Hello,

Using Telerik.Web.UI_2011_3_1305
I have a SQL Server table with approx 600,000 records and 28 columns. I created an ASP.Net page with a RadGrid set-up in "Grid / Virtual Scrolling and Paging" as described in the article at:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/client/virtualscrollpaging/defaultcs.aspx
(see code below)
However the performance is poor: loading a new grid page takes a very long time, approx 30 seconds...

Please also note the following:
- the SQL Server database is hosted on the same machine
- the development machine is very fast and has 6GB of RAM
Therefore it is not the environment that causes the performance issue.

Please advise.
Regards,
M.R.

Hello,

When you have many columns(almost 30) combined with large number of records, this could degrade the performance. In such case we suggest to use LINQ for fetching the data from the database. This approach could greatly improve the performance, sample application that uses this approach could be found here.

Additionally, you could check the help topics from the performance section of RadGrid.
