Properties take too long to appear

[Jorge]

Hello.
I'm relatively new to Visual Studio 2008 and to RadComponents.
I noticed that VS is extremely slow with RadComponents, even though I have an great computer (Core 2 Duo E6750, 2 Gb).
For example I create a MasterTable Edit Template for a RadGrid and when I click a Textbox, etc. I have to wait 3-5 seconds for properties to appear.
Is this normal? Is there any way to optimize this?
VS consumes no more than 300 Mb of RAM and there's always free memory. All the other programs work fine (SQL Management Studio, Office programs, etc.).

Thanks a lot.

Hello Jorge,

Unfortunately I am not able to determine the exact cause of the slow-down in your case because we have not been contacted with regards to a similar issue before.

Can you please specify how many controls you nested inside the MasterTableView's edit template of the grid and whether the issue disappears when you restart the VS environment or re-open the web site? Does the same delay appear when you define such template for MS GridView instance for example? The answers to these questions can help us determine the cause of the issue and how to eliminate it.

Kind regards,
Sebastian

Hi,

especially in larger projects properties sometimes do not show at all (in source view).
Most of the time I get properties - but no events.
Sometimes (after switching to shared / design view) I have properties again.
I prepared a video about the issue.

Hi Pavel,

by the way in this "change views" (Source, Design, Mixed) scenario still the problem (I reported this somewhere else a few weeks ago) exists that Grid, Chart (and other controls also I think) tend to "reformat" the markup.
Before I had something like:
<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="xxx" ...... HeaderStyle-Width="120px" />
Nice an compact - especially when a grid has a lot of columns.

After switching to design mode - and changing a value there it looks like:
<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="xxx" ...... HeaderStyle-Width="120px" >
<HeaderStyle Width="120px" />
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

Hello Manfred,

Indeed I could reproduce the problem when you change something in design-time. We will investigate this problem as well.

Hi,

We are also facing the same issue.

When in Source View, the Properties Window does not load the properties and events.
On switching to Design view only, the Properties Window gets a list of all properties.

Any update on this issue please.
